there's anarchist soccer, why not anarchist golf?
Personally I find descriptions of these sports much more
understandable than the wacked-out rules of competitive sports -
even as a kid I wondered why anybody would deliberately play
those uncomfortable games

Likewise, there really are places in the world that don't
hold interest for the acquisitions dept of Vibe Corp,
where people of an anarchist* persuasion can live their philosophy
(something of much more importance and lasting value - imho -
than the horrible misinterpretations of the 
propaganda-of-the-deed folks) 
ic.org is worth a look, if you think that there isn't 
anything left but mainstream...

*or whatever

correction 1: yesterday wrote that a writing career
is "consequence-free" - obviously that's an exaggeration

correction 2: calling GR the "imago" of Pynchon's Pantheistic
Paranoia -- maybe change that to, or append, "the Kansas City -
he'd gone about as fur as he could go"
