I confess I haven't a clue what you mean by "an arch", though your first quote jives. Anarchy comes from the Greek anarchos (that "ch" is a chi... but the Italians mudered that particular character for a diphthong along the way; a pity: it'd make fuck a three letter word). an- is a negative prefix, and archos means "rule". So what's "an arch"? Like in St. Louis? Like in Noah? Or do you think all the illiterates who can't be bothered to read Rand spent that time reading Classical Greek instead (I mean, *I* did, but...), but they just can't get it unless you break it into particles for them? - -- gabriel rosenkoetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (NetBSD) iD8DBQE+ZUcw9ehacAz5CRoRAhLOAJ9/JhE619ho6yf4JpPI6xHjxKYhpACdFGGU B5mTSJQZI86HbTmK0h/L/jA= =/0Ee -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
