I mean please get the fucking words right, PLEASE!

Oh and I'm NOT and Anarchist I'm a LEFTIST who argues with them constantly but it's SO not right to call broken down Crony Capitalism ANARCHY!

Criminy here's another lousy headline!

3. I've noticed that
Anarchy is being used more and more where Chaos should be used.

I think the distinction is being lost in the language. But this is a natural progression.

Anarchism is not really a political movement anymore and it's meaning is shifting to mean "chaotic, uncontrolled, unmanaged".

4. Actually it's Both. Anarchy in DC and Choas everywhere else.
It's like a free radical corrupting everything it touches by robbing it of it's identity to make a cancer grow.

5. In answer to the original (but rhetorical) question
...the wire services include heds with stories, but they're just suggestions. Newspapers, web sites et al are under no obligation to use them, though many lazy copy editors and web designers do.
