Well, I was once an Anarchist, in the classical sense not what passes these day for "anachists". It all ended when I became a police officer back in 1990.
I think that is enough to spark an atomic bomb of conversation(s). Carry On.
I'm a little curious as to how one goes from being an anarchist to serving as one of the state's enforcers, but only a little. It's your story; you can tell it in your own time.
