Journalism Class - Thursday December 8

Spider is in the classroom, although all that can be seen of him is a somewhat bedraggled Santa hat, with a sprig of mistletoe affixed to it. From the shape of the hat it is obvious that there is an icepack within.

On the screen behind his desk, thankfully muted, there is the following message.

Write me 100 words on Anarchy and why it's an excellent theory but suffers in practice.

Quietly.

Also? Extra-credit for anyone who can turn in 100 words on where I was last night after my fourth drink and why there's glitter in my under drawers and a freshly dead fish in my jacket pocket. Thank you.



((OOC: Feel free to amuse yourself with where he was last night. He really has no idea and is, in any case, not inclined to take any answers all that seriously.))

The attractiveness of anarchy is also its biggest weakness. Unless one follows the Golden Rule, which, if there is no authority, cannot be enforced, then everyone is endangered by the freedom of others. If a person derives joy from hurting others, under anarchy, he is can do so without fear of reprisal from a government. Normal day-to-day interaction would likely continue unaltered whether there is a government or not, but it is the extreme cases we need to worry about. Even though it may sound fun on the surface, there needs to be some sort of government to protect others.

For extra credit:
Only four drinks? Clearly you were drugged, because I would think your tolerance would be much higher than that. Someone obviously slipped you something, then took you to the annual Fandom Town drag show. Since you’re under house arrest, I can only assume said person was Rover, or one of his minions. I hear you wore a stunning red sequined gown and a huge blonde wig. You lip synched “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” and took third place, behind Johnina Crichton and MacGyver (who didn’t need a wig with the mullet). And Rover says you have very nice legs.
