Yeah, but then almost all of us will be found lacking.  Senseless acts of
destruction and mindless acts of vandalism have their place in a spontaneous
kind of way.  Although if you leave a personalized message it should be
connected with the religious right or the nazis.

CROQUET MALLETS, damnit.  *Croquet* mallets.   Have you forgotten so soon?
It was decreed just a couple of months ago that _appropriate_ (Man, how I
hate that wird) anarchist response to anti-social behavior would involve
hunting the miscreants down and smashing their toes with Croquet mallets.

That's why Erik of Banarchist Fame has been quiet lately.  He went to
Pakistan and hooked up with Ali and is in Kandyland hunting for Usami bin
Laden with a Poison Tap in mind.   Dumb fascists there think--and rightly
so--it isn't cricket.  Cricket, they understand.
