This! This! Pynchon's self-organizing [anarchy] vision happening all over. One I'm part of in my little town.

[Mark Kohut]

We are not talking about 'self-organizing' a government......

We are talking about spontaneous eddies of help, for gawd's sake.
Smart people, participatory decision-making...FOLLOWING ALL THE GODDAM LAWS.

Read about what a few of Camus' characters, esp Dr. Rieux do in a plague
and you will have to revise that sentence.
yet, there are plenty of selfish sabotagers in that novel; there are plenty
of offside oddballs; there is plenty, plenty of denial
and complacency....
