I don't really know any anarchists personally, the ones I have seen in protests don't follow the rule I positedd about my freedom stopping where yours is affected. They were advocating no rules at all of any kind.
Anarchy by definition has no constraints. So maybe you know modified anarchists (not that they have modified themselves, errr they might have but thats not what I meant) 
[/QUOTE]Mmmm no, anarchy by definition just means without ruling power, ie a state. From the Greek 'an' meaning without, and 'arch' meaning ruling power (the 'governors' of Athens had the title Archon). Quite simple etymology, not really any room to misinterpret the meaning of the word! Anarchists have a strong sense of social responsibility. ie. their ideal is to have no state, but where everyone looks after each other and ensures their own freedom and the freedom of others.
