The thought just occurred to me: Revolutionaries are always criminals... until they win. Cheers, Sunni :) brmerrick: Quite interesting. I have had some experiences of the type, though my road to anarchism wasn't one of them. But then, perhaps, I haven't fully torn down that wall you mention yet. We shall see! Indeed, Ethan.

Being a post-Christian, I can tell you that it definitely feels like a conversion. The final push on the "Wall of Oppression" happened just this last summer. Since its fall, my outlook on life is totally different. It is <i>exactly</i> like the Christian moment of conversion. I, too, definitely need to get this book. The next American Revolution most assuredly needs to be nonviolent and individually experienced.
