Well, anybody in their late teens or early 20s who doesn't want to riot is either dead or too enlightened. And corporate globalism is worthy of militant opposition. On the other hand, a lot of these young "anarchists" are sort of like Moslem fundamentalists ... extremely purist and moralistic. Opposing technology is idiotic. In a world of 6 billion the only way out is by overwhelming scarcity with self-replicating production technologies like bio and nanotechnology. Besides, one would have to kill 99.9% of the American people to get them to agree to live the meat and technology and entertainment free lifestyle that the Unabomber anarchists would like to impose on us. Including me. But they're young, and they did what needed to be done in Seattle.
