Simpsons OWS Special
- A TV camera pans and shows protesters with various signs, "Delete the Elite!" - "All play and no work makes an Archie go cuckoo!", "Stop government lies, investigate Roswell!", "No government, no money, no banks, no police, no IRS, no Ron Lawl!"
- Kent Brockman: Kent Brockman reporting from mini-Sprinfield, a tiny camping city where an army…
- camera man: (whispering) Anarchy kent, anarchy.
- Kent Brockman: Yes, hmm, where anarchy is being organized by a man known as Mr. Greeker. We'll speak with him about corporate injustice, but first a word from our sponsor.
- A Duff beer commercial starts playing. "Duff Duff! When camping's rough, there's nothing like a Duff!"….
- Marge: This anarchist will destroy our city!
- Bart: What's an harpist?
- Marge: An anarchist Bart. It's a person who breaks stuff and wants to destroy the government.
- Bart: Cool!
- Lisa: No mom! Anarchism stems from a long line of mostly non-violent thinkers like Ghandi. They just want to abolish hierachies. They want everyone to be equal, without leaders.
- Bart: You mean, like a school without a principal?
- Lisa: Yes Bart. (sigh)
- Bart: Cool!
- Kent Brockman: Back with Greeker. Mr. Greeker, what are you concocting exactly?
- Greeker: We want a society without injustice. That means a society without policemen and without government.
- Kent Brockman: Ha ha, you mean if you remove the police, poof, no more crime? Isn't it the other way around?
- Professor John Frink: (Interjects from a side monitor) Actually Kent, statistical analysis tends to show that a world without money, taxes, police, government, or any other authority figure is perfect and just. Have you heard about RBE and the Venus Project?
- Later, at milhouse's house.
- Bart: I'm gonna start a website on anarchy!
- Milhouse: You mean like Dart?
- Bart: Who the hell is Dart?
- Milhouse: He's the one who started the OWS website.
- Bart: Hmmm… Dart hey?
(to be continued)
That actually really sounds like A simpsons episode! Good work. I don't consider OWS about anarchy, though. More democratic socialism.

Tomato (with a long "a"). Tomato (with a short "a").
Potato ?! Fried, roasted, boiled or mashed ?!! 'We The People' - need to know !!! fiat lux ...
How is it that you don't consider OWS about anarchy? The founders are anarchist, and the methods are anarchist. They do not want to make demands, use direct democracy, do not want to play into the governmental system, etc... How is it more about democratic socialism than anarchy?
C'est une Trashy-Bot Comment n'est ce pas ?!!!
As amusing as your forum-post may be, we should NOT be fooled by you again, me thinx !!
I am not 95% or 99% sure that this 'Joined on 30th Jan' usurped moniker (playing with the 'I's peut-etre) is you Trashy - I am 100% Sure that it is you and as you know (and as providence would have it) - I am always happy, willing and able to play 'huckleberry' for you Trashy - any time !
You're are the reason that the original TIOUISE left this forum aren't you ?
How's Bali treating you or have you now returned to Canada again ?
fiat lux ...
Simpsons be buggered......this is more like a soap opera every day. lulz
LOLOLOL !!!!

I see you're still showing off with an overly romanticized writing style. You can refer to me as TIOUAISE now, I took over his body ages ago. I barely remember what it feels like to be Thrasymaque! To return to the above question: anarchy or democratic socialism?
Romanticized !!! Please try not to interpret the above as some kind of a billet doux !! Further, be you 'TI' or be you 'TIT' - thou shalt forever be "Trashy" to me !
Finally in reply and unlikely as it may be to come to pass any time soon - true education about the very real intellectual roots of Anarchism and Libertarian Socialism with Transparent, Participatory Democracy and a true Universal Democratic Meritocracy FOR ALL please - and IF you can arrange that any time soon, well I'll become your number one fan and praise singer !!
multum in parvo ...
