Good luck, Zakiaya, you're going to need it.
This year's annual peace gathering got off to a bad start when one participant was jailed for allegedly beating another nearly to death with a shovel for driving too fast through a campground.
Wow really peaceful!!! That article was funny....I haven't ever met any hippy-dippys before, but man now I want too to laugh at them....
LOL! This sounds like a parody, I wonder what god they're praying to?
And why does AP consider this newsworthy?
"Why does AP consider this newsworthy"
In fact the AP found it worthy of TWO articles. There's another incredibly lame one giving definitions of Rainbow Family terms. Here it is:

Road Dogs, Groovy Rainbows and Other Slang Used by the Rainbow Family
The Associated Press
A glossary of slang used by the Rainbow Family, as gleaned from interviews:
Babylon: The outside world.
Bliss ninny: A Rainbow who spends most of his or her time stoned on marijuana.
Bliss pit: A fire pit.
Blissware: A cup, bowl, tin can or other container used for food and drink, usually tied to the waist when not in use.
Gathering: The annual national event held somewhere in a national forest.
Groovy Rainbow: A Rainbow who has a permanent home and job but enjoys the lifestyle. Also "weekend hippy."
Groundscores: Anything valuable found on the ground.
Hippie mace: A flashlight shined in the eyes of a stoned hippy.
L-E-O: Law enforcement officer.
Plumber: Usage: "Is there a plumber in the house? I've got a broken pipe." Translation: I need to borrow a marijuana pipe.

Are we sure it is still accurate to call this a "counter-culture?"
But I LOVE whirrled peas...
No word yet whether John Kerry is planning to drop by to groove with his fellow Road Dogs.
Anyone got the phone number for the Hell's Angels? I just found a great spot for their next convention!
Only with one "R" and a banjo solo on the side.
LOL. And don't forget those senseless acts of beauty and random acts of kindness.
Hippies suck!

This sounds like a stoned Abbot and Costello bit, waiting to happen.
Dude, like, where's weed?
Likely.
Likely where? ...
Can hippies and Indians come together, for the sake of world peace? Sure. Pass the peace pipe, take a toke, and sing Purple Maze. It could work.
Reminds me of that old Saturday Night Live skit: "and in here's where you keep your w-e-e-e-e-e-d!"
No,just a bunch of rich white Trustafarians who never worked a real job in their lives and will probably never HAVE to!

This is funniest part of the article. The feds are spending more money to police the gathering than the whole event costs put together. Not to mention the cost of the local cops and a miriad of other police agencies.
