Who came up with calling Eugene the "Anarchist Capital"? A capital is State entity. Anarchism means without rulers. That's a silly contradiction, IMO. Whoever you were hanging out with, they sound like a-holes, not the non-aggression principle anarchists I've come to know.
There's nothing wrong with making money, it's how you spend it. I like spreading it around different countries.
Well said. I hope you have an amazing trip to Thailand.
