Ah, so anarchy. No continuity in government. What rational thinking. I too was a big anarchist when I was 15 and there was a fun punk scene in the Bay Area.

My Scottish male ancestors were forcibly shipped to Massachusetts and made to do forced labour when they lost the civil war to the English. Because they were prisoners of war they were not allowed to bring their families with them.
