"[...] the campground smells like freedom, which turns out to be a whole lot of bacon."

As pointed out in email:


Last weekend, a group of libertarians and anarchists gathered in the woods of northern New Hampshire for the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, aka PorcFest.

I went up for breakfast.

This has been a "feature" of the anarchist movement since, oh, the invention of anarchism. Apparently very few dedicated and motivated anarchists are also good at taking directions and working in a group. Who knew?

Surprisingly, it's not unknown for anarchist event organizers to discover this until after events turn disorganized, leaving baffled committee members in their wake.
