Disagree away -- but your disagreement will not alter the fact, in Law, that the mayor of Sin FRancisco is an anarchist. One that is, who is acting in the absence of Law -- of Legal Authority.

Being backed by no basis in Law, the pieces of paper he is issuing to the queued deviants are of no value and he and his lacky lickspittles should be made to pay for all of the costs incurred by them in keeping the mayor's office -- currently so squalidly squatted and bemanured by him and by them -- open through the holiday weekend.

I disagree only in light of what the article describes as the actions of Mr. Newsom prior to his action. It's a small, but significant point.

If this be "Anarchy," it be a very well planned one. There may be an absence of law, here but not, unfortunately of Government. The lack of outrage out here is staggering. It's (obviously) being viewed as a "dog bites man" story, except with it's fatal consequences--for our Society.

I believe it's either a Publicity Campaign (Tourist or Political, you decide), or, more sinister, an attempt to circumvent the Law of the Land, and Several Millennia of Tradition. Either way, I see no absence of "order," on the contrary, it was obviously well thought out, and with the collusion of State Government Officals.

I don't think there's anyone left in that city sane enough to mount a recall. It's a shame, it was one of America's Great Cities. I still have friends there. I just refuse to visit them and have told them why. They think I'm nuts, and in a "Oliver Wendell Douglas" of Green Acres way, they are correct.

Only in the same sense that the South was engaging in "anarchy" when it seceded from the country and set up its own government. In other words, "not at all". It's an act of civil war, not an act of anarchy.

No more value, at least, than Confederate Dollars in the USA.
