| Anarchists' Convention Debates Voting |
| 2004-08-16 |
| A group of anarchists is taking an unusual step to make its political voice heard — going to the polls. Anarchists generally pride themselves on their rejection of government and its authority. But a faction of them fed up with the war in Iraq say they plan to cast anti-Bush votes this fall. The voting debate was just one of the topics explored at the three-day North American Anarchist Convergence, Bwahahahah which brought about 175 participants Wow! I'm sure those voices will be heard over the cacophony of other moonbats to Ohio University. Some attendees rejected the voting proposal. "Ultimately, those who are voting are either bad anarchists or not anarchists at all," said Lawrence, a "Californian in his mid-40s" who declined to give his last name. "No one can represent my interests. We reject political professionals." Then what the hell is he doing at a conference? |

| #9 This kind of reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where Ned Flanders is institutionalized. While discussing his childhood with a psychiatrist, Ned recalls a scene where his beatnik parents took him to a child psychiatrist. His father told the doctor "We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas." |

| #8 North American Anarchist Convergence Well, what did you expect, tu3031? They had a convergence. It's not like they're going to register for seminars and all that. I picture all of them on different street corners around the town, raving about their individual agendas and then going home without actually ever having gathered in one particular place. |

| #2 ...which represents an all-time low for the conference. Normally the agenda-to-attendee ratio never drops below 3.2 to 1... |
