nothing, least of all rights, is permanent. they exist
for a certain period of time, before they are
undermined and eventually taken away. for example bush
has done everything he can sincehe's been in office to
undermine women's rights to have an abortion. and
given enough time with enough conservatives in office
who set the laws abortion could eventually become
illegal.

as for this whole notion of what is anarchism, blah,
blah, rant, rant, it is whatever you define it to be
in your own head. a definition of anything is
relative. just because a majority sees it as something
does not discount the minority view of it. when
something becomes hardened into a definition its
ability to change and evolve is destroyed. no one has
a copyright on what is anarchy.
