"2 Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Not all use the term anarchy simply as a pejorative implying violent oppressive struggles for power. It is used in reference to such thinkers as Leo Tolstoy and others in a ways signifying far more reasonable, moderate, patient struggles for consensus and towards wisdom, and away from far too great a reliance upon the rule of power and laws born of personal or partisan will for power, in favor of those habits and customs which can be established through a far more fundamental and personally transcendent will for Truth and Grace. ~ Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)"

"2 Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC) The statement does not posit the existence of a "perfect man" — it posits a lack of expectation for a perfect work, as a way of justifying support of the US Constitution as a imperfect but necessary work of compromises.
