Why Are We Fucking With the Hippies???

I guess the current Nazi regime er, government has decided that the Rainbow Gathering is somehow terrorist-like and should be quashed. In a nutshell, Homeland Security raided the place, started issuing citations and performing trials (no representation for the people, no unbiased judge, no jury, just sentencing) on site. I found some news articles to support the fines and the hassles (and the apparent rebellion by the hippies) but of course the media has been censored as per usual. We all MUST write our elected officials and stop this madness, how the hell did naked, peace-loving, dope-smoking hippies end up being a threat to national security???

Here's what happened from a couple of insider's points of view: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/06/27/18283162.php

And finally here's the "official" Rainbow gathering site:

This is getting wildly out of control. There are links to follow at the bottom of my first link to write to protest. Please, everyone, do your part regardless of whether or not you agree with clothing-optional campouts because our personal freedoms and privacy are going away quickly. Gods please save us from the Bush administration!!!

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

RIP Charlie "Butch" Sours, I miss your cranky ass. :'-(

Dear Charlie-Dad, I can't believe I'm writing this letter, I just knew you were going to be an immortal creature. You were always so brave and steadfast and I thought you'd live forever on belligerence alone. I'm so not ready to say good-bye. You seemed tired when you were here at Thanksgiving, but then we started making plans for you to move back to Texas next year and I had false hope that you were going to be around a while longer. What a horrible tease. So much of who I am is because of you, and I'm grateful to still have your voice in my head saying all the grumpy things that you loved to say so often. My fierce loyalty, sticking by my guns on tough topics, and most importantly my ability to love unconditionally all came from you. You were an amazing role model for me, like none I've had before or since, and I sincerely hope I've done you proud on how I'm turning out. I wish I'd recorded your stories, I hate that so many were lost with y

Drawing healthy boundaries

I'm posting this here so you'll never lose it and you'll always be able to go back and reference it. ------------------------- This is farewell, I'm done. I once loved you so dearly, and now I only find irritation and disappointment when I interact with you. I can't listen to any more drunken self-created drama, nor should I have to. My time is far more valuable than the ramblings of someone who either cannot or will not take responsibility for anything in their life. I sincerely hope you get help and find hope and purpose.
