Hey - Anarchists aren't necessarily violent, it's just the violent one's get all the press - and being anarchist, there is no organized response to denounce.

On the other hand, I think people resort to violence when the feel they have been marginalized which is why you see it arise from the fringes.

The competitive model has done us some good, but it's ashame we really don't have many cooperative models for bringing people together for a common goal unless its a common enemy.
