Although the popular misconception exists that anarchy actually implies
the breaking of all rules, this is actually not the case. "Anarchy" is
just a system of goverment - like "monarchy", "matriarchy", "oligarchy"
and other "-archies". Anarchy is simply a system of government in which
there is no government. This does not (necessarily) imply no laws -
there are democratic ways that laws could be established and changed
without requiring a government. Though not an anarchist myself, I see no
reason to assume that an anarchic society MUST be hateful or violent,
and also no reason why adherents of such a philosophy should not be able
to organise sufficiently to agree on standardizing the use of a
character. It seems to me that quips such as those below are
detrimental, and irrelevant to issues of character encoding.
