I will say though that..KL..RIP...did an outstanding job of playing the Joker....The makeup artist will win an Oscar...and so will likely KL.

given your anarchy quote, what was your take on the Joker. Given he was a Nihilistic Anarchist at heart, and thought those that "tried to control" everything. i.e. the Govt. and the alternative Govt.(the Mafia), then he burnt all the money he stole, one of the main forces we organize ourselves around...among other things.

much better take on Anarchy than V for Vendetta, up there with Fight Club. Since I'm not an anarchist, I like this take the best given the ending

The word anarchy has been bastardized into describing violent nutjobs running around without restraint...as portrayed in these movies. While I find these flicks entertaining I dont like the analogy.
This is why I dont call myself an Anarchist and prefer Voluntarist instead. I dont consider a state of Anarchy as being a violent way of life. Anarchy is simply the lack of governmental control. For some reason we have come to think that without the government around, people would become violent savages. We all live the vast majority of our daily lives unfettered by the government. We live our lives peacefully with those around us by our own free will and choice. Why is it that would change without a government around?

Im much more afraid of the violence of the State than I am of the violence of my neighbors.

Somalia is becoming an interesting study of a nation with the lack of a centralized government. Things are actually better today in Somalia than it was when it had a formal governmental structure....Not a perfect example of an Anarchial state and probably closer to a Tribal State...but it is interesting.

You heard it here first folks ... comic books completely justify the Bush Presidency.

And if you seriously think that, well, that has dire implications for the 10-15% of the country left that still supports Bush.

as long as nobody puts on a Robin outfit, I'm cool.

well, throw in the the V for Vendetta whackos along with that

You don't even know what 4chan is, so I wouldn't expect you to know about "Anonymous" their the proclivity to wearing those masks. And since it's 4chan, yes, a higher than normal share of them will be whackos.
