It's been my experience with the very few authentic anarchists I've met,
that they are more capable of self-governance than most human beings. In
many ways it think, the Founding Fathers were hoping for a nation of people
who were capable of self-governance. Maybe they got a few of them, anyway.

This fim features two personal heroes of mine antiwar activist Kathy Kelly
and permaculture teacher and eco-activist Starhawk.
I feel this is a decent documentary that dispels the many myths about
anarchist being violent, intolerant, jerks, who can't get their shit
together. The anarchists I know are generally very peaceful, understanding
and kind, and quite well organized but a bit isolated. They're isolated
because they're misunderstood and because of years of government repression,
propaganda, and spying. Many of them are practically minded and *a very
large number* are into permaculture in significant ways which is great! In
fact the three ethics of permaculture very succinctly some up the ethics of
anarchism, how interesting?
