I think the headline: Street Rage: Dark Parallels... over a largely intelligent exploration of the anarchist subculture in Oregon and Seattle was quite questionable. It evoked things like Columbine when actually your reporter suggested that, however controversial their positions protest tactics are, these are well-read, thoughtful young men and women committed to living life in line with their views.

Dear Dr. Sherman:
Sorry, but I cannot agree with you. Perhaps they are well read and thoughtful, but what they did looks to me like street rage. And there is nothing "controversial" about looking and wrecking stores. It's generally regarded as flat-out wrong thing to do. So I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. But thanks for writing.
