Antarctica peace protest

by a
Human Peace Sign from Antarctica

Today people from McMurdo Station in Antarctica joined with the millions of others around the world in calling for peace not war.

With the Antarctic Mt Range in the background we laid on the ice in a symbolic call for peace.

Seven continents united.

>>>No Government.<<<

Try again. Almost everyone in Antarctica works for a Government. Most USians work for the military.

>>>No Crime.<<<

Where there are people, there is crime. A military installation still has crime, just like every other community.

No, an anarchist territory is not a misnomer, in fact it is the best description, along with temporary autonomous zone (search for T.A.Z., Hakim Bey). You're thinking of anarchist state. That is a no-no. Have a read of Antarctica (the sci-fi book), it's all about trying to preserve the territory as the last un-(politically)spoilt place on earth.

Peace and @narchy:
Tough on Terrorism,
Tough on the causes of Terrorism

Comunism sucks. Has never worked in groups larger than an handful, and has even within those groups, usually failed.

Anarchy as a political state of being, is completely worthless. If it were to succeed, MILLIONS would suffer and die before even the most basic social structure could evolve peacefully....that is, of course, if you don't force it upon people...and you guys wouldn't do that, would you?

Finally, a Anti-Hussein rally was held concurrently with the peace protest....the Anti-Hussein rally was held in doors where it is warm.

Is the current usage of this expression from the Simpsons, or maybe Rush Limbaugh. I've more often seen it used by conservatives. What's it all about, Alfie?
