(Just so you know I will be on for about an hour to an hour and a half, then off for an hour or two, then back on for the rest of the night)
Finally I realize that everyone is staring at me, and realize they know. To me it's more depressing than anything else, knowing that all of my friends know that I'm crazy... "Please, help me... You're persuasive... Don't let them put me in an asylum...." I say in barely more than a whisper to Rommell.

"Alright, but let me get your bag."
I take her bag, and we go to the taxi stand. We catch a taxi that takes us the 15 minutes to my palce. Its a three story appartment building. I pay the cab and get our bags.
"This is it. Not much, but home."
We walk up to my room on the second floor; it looks small, but it is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. It is moderatly nice. I open the door.
"This is it. Sorry for the mess."

"I am sure you can get ahead in some little insignificant ways, like, oh, I had the best idea of how to distribute the corn the fairest on the collective farm. So then I got a metal, which I share with everyone so they don't feel left out."
"But seriously, if you abolish private property and class, you really are taking away individual freedom. I don't believe that such a system would even be conductive to anarchy."
"For one thing, there must be rules on how to distribute things equally. Your idea also hinges on both a social and political revolution, then, after this great revolution, expects that people will naturally know how to distribute things equally without a system to govern this restructuring of society and prodution."
"At least my idea seems workable. We simple need to abolish the government and let capitalist production continue in its absence."

"This isn't messy at all. I don't know what you're talking about." I bring my bag to the spare room and look around.
"This is a nice place."

"Well, its messy for me... I thought it was pretty bad."
I put down my bags in my room.
"So, yah, this is it. Welcome."
I chuckle.

After Zinner and I talk for awhile I knock on the door of the prison truck, notifying the driver that he can go. I send information to the prison that all of the prisoners except the woman are to be held in a medium-security facility pending sentancing. The woman, who is obviously more than a little mentally unstable, is to be committed to a mental hospital...

"Well thanks, it was very nice of you to invite me to stay with you. I think this will work out well, though I admit I am a little apprehensive about living with a man."

((Gotcha.))
Frederick nods his head, and puts his finger up to his lips.
"We can discuss this at a later time." He says, looking at the others, who seem to be getting antsy.
"Don't worry Eva." Frederick sits back in his seat, and wonders exactly what's going to happen to them.

"But I'm scared... I have no home... No family, just you..." I say, meaning the entire group. "What can I do?"

I cross my arms.
"Personal freedom isn't dependent on private property. The definition of personal freedom isn't 'let's see how many toys I can get'. I disagree that abolishing class and private property limits personal freedom, I think it enhances it." I reply.
"It just makes sense to do things on a smaller, local level. When your life revolves around work, that's not freedom, that's slavery. You should be free to do other things. Work shouldn't have to be the focal point of our existance. It sure as hell isn't for the bourgeoisie, why can't we have the same luxuries?"

"There's not much you can do right now." Frederick replies, trying to calm her down. "But don't worry. Hitler wrote his best work in jail, then eventually went on to run the greatest country in the history of the planet." Rommel says, proudly.
"We just have to make it through this..."

"Yeah, just make it through this.." I parrot. "Maybe someone will take pity on us... Or Switzer will help us out..."

"You aren't answering the question of how to bring about your version of an anarchist society without some laws or government to help reorganize society first."
"But that aside, maybe people wouldn't have to work as much if we didn't have to pay taxes into a government which squanders it on worthless social programs."
"Whatever money we earn, we could keep, which would reduce the work week by at least 10 hours for everyone, and more for those who can get ahead."
"But really, I didn't come here to debate you, as fun as it is."

Frederick nods. He begins to worry about Christian, and hopes that he's okay.
"Yes... We'll figure something out..." Nobody else says anything, maybe out of respect for Eva, but they wear their thoughts on their face.

It comes to my attention that world events are no longer progressing as predicted. Revolution is fermenting throuought the world, and my own sources of information have been unreliable as of late, much to my displeasure. Once again I alter my voice to sound typically American, and call up the UN General Secretary, Lan Zheng-LaFleur, to discuss the situation...
