I don't believe me, or anyone else, is 'worrying' about Bush or how he was 
elected. That some of us spend some time satirizing the election is hardly 
an indication that we are not anarchs. Anarchists, by their nature, have 
some passing interest in politics. They must, for politics is how we govern 
ourselves as a society or as individuals, and that is the primary meaning of 
anarchy; self-governance. Being a political junkie doesn't mean advocation 
of the political system. I have an interest in theology, yet I am an 
athiest. Same thing. Chill out Goat. Load your gun and go shoot some cans or 
squirrels or something.
