Christian Anarchism, hitchiking, Trappist Monks, Simple living, dumpster diving, anti-globalization rallies, reading, community and the percussive clank of chain links attached to dozens of defiant stomping feet across the marbled business floor desert, fists raised high, open mouthed screaming brittle sirens over the hum of computers, air filtration systems and the muddy thud of a thousand apathetic hearts.
