Get a job!

Quit trashing public parks!

Yeesh!

They should come back with fire trucks and hose the filthy hippies down. Day and night if necessary, until they move on.

I wish. Nope, 500,000 criminals and their supporters felt free to march in LA streets with no fear of any repercussions.

I think they should rename it the Tony Robbin's motivational seminar for rebellious pot heads.

...in Northern Maine. It's an alternative universe.

LOL. An alternative universe of black flies and no-see-ums. In the Allagash woods you fish with one hand on your fishing pole and the other hand swatting flies. Bring plenty of fly repellent or moose piss.

Law enforcement rangers have guns and pepper spray, and probably shotguns in their vehicles.

They didnt need those, however, all they needed to do was chase the hippies with water hoses, soap, and scrub brushes.

To a Hippie, soap and water is like crosses to vampires.

"Did this take place in Maine? "

Nope, Clark is about 25 miles north of Steamboat Springs on the way up to Hahn's Peak. It's a beautiful drive. Clark pretty much consists of a combination general store-post office with a great ice cream selection. Well worth the trip if you are in the area.

They should have celebrated mass - That would disperse them.

the "Rainbow Family of Living Light" is composed of about 90% hippy idiot and 10% traveler/hardcore criminal.

Jeez everyone here seems to be uneducated about the "rainbow people" Yes I agree... some of them are pot smokin hippies but!!! a large part of people who attend are normal non-drug using people. Many churches attend as an outreach and the whole purpose of the gathering is to advocate peace. Now that is also considering that there will be those few idiots that ruin it for everyone by being violent, those people are few and far between and are not encouraged in any way. Theres always another side to the story and the things that the media prints are rarely true (as we all know)

One or two grasshoppers are not a problem.

Locusts are.

I know people who go there in the outreach capacity. I've heard stories that would curl your hair. Nudity, filth, rampant drug use and the like are the norm.

I think its shallow to generalize and say there all hippies when that is no where near true.
