    As an 18 year old, I still enjoy blowing the crap out of stuff, so 
your recipes are read with some enjoyment.  Please share more of this 
material, though I don't see terrorism (using explosives) as an effective 
means to secure freedom.  It just pisses off an already sadistic, 
psychotic government.
    As stated in my previous message, I don't believe an *anarchist* 
community can work.  By definition, a community states plural citizens.  
That means cooperation, which means someone has to take power over others. 
You mentioned Plato's Republic; should an anarchist society be run by an 
"enlightened" philosopher-king?  Smacks of a soon-to-be pompous, 
easily-tyrannied monarchy to me.
    How can one gain the knowledge of survival outside the society?  
Thoreau states in Walden that man should be alone, away from society.  But 
how could he have lived in nature without the comforts and education (i.e. 
his writing ability) which root from society.  If one can avoid the 
government, there are skills needed for that which involve training only 
society can provide.  Can man, in this day and age, survive on his own?  
I doubt it.
