Rainbow Family gathering results in citations ( NM )
ap ^ | June 22, 2009

Authorities have recorded more than 370 incidents, including 120 violation notices, in the past week as people flock to the Santa Fe National Forest ...

between 10,000 and 12,000 people are expected to attend the gathering from July 1-7.

Forest Service spokesman Lawrence Lujan says most of the violation notices handed out since June 14 are related to alcohol, and drug and traffic violations. Some of the people who were issued notices were required to appear Monday in federal court in Albuquerque.

This rainbow crowd is a bunch of loonies. They bill themselves as being all about peace and copulation. A couple of years ago, one rainbow took an axe to the head of another rainbow during a fight over a campground parking spot on opening day. Killed the guy. LOL!!! Loony toons.

Forest service should seed the clouds with Downy Flakes.

They came here a number of years ago. The “dumpster divers” almost put the waste management company out of business. Dirty, dirty “people.”

Same thing when they came to my state. They made the forest a dump site. I don’t know what they’re trying to do or believe in but two weeks without a bath does not a political statement make.

The last time they came to Arizona, the news anchors at the TV stations in Phoenix were pimping for them. The anchors claimed that most of the rainbows were “lawyers, doctors, engineers and scientists.” LOL!!!

And given the numbers of the visitors expected, the locals might even call in their cousins from Mora...and that could get REALLY ugly!

They say that about bikers too. If that were really the case, lawyers, doctors, engineers and scientist's wives certainly have more tatoos than the Junior League used to approve of.

My, my, my! Am I behind the times. I don't know
if "chancres" is a misspelling or something I really should avoid.

I used to live close to Mora and I worked a crew out of Mora, and those inbred jokers are certainly not to be messed with.

I lived a ways North of that area, and the Mora guys were legendary even then. This book is a classic on the area around Mora.

RED SKY AT MORNING

This review is from: Red Sky At Morning (Paperback) I first read RED SKY AT MORNING when I was 14, and immediately bonded with the teen age narrator, fatherless in a strange new world. The wry humor, sarcastic wit and evocation of a vanished, war time New Mexico all combine for a wonderful read. The only other book I enjoyed this much was Jackson McCrae's "The Children's Corner" which is also full of great writing and wonderful descriptions. I've reread RED SKY with great pleasure several times since (32 years and counting) and ordered a new copy for my 16 year old son. He read it and passed it along to his sister which I choose to interpret as an act of kindness, rather than the usual bantering siblings display. A fine book."

Another Bradford book about New Mexico, "Richard Bradford's two books, So Far From Heaven and Red Sky at Morning come from a time when New Mexico was in a period of transition. So Far From Heaven refers to a statement in 1841 by Mexican Governor Manual Armijo, "Poor New Mexico! So far from heaven, so close to Texas."

Just my editorial comment about the Rainbow Family and their gathering. Poor taste perhaps, but what discussion of those ‘people’ wouldn’t be.
