What amazes me is that for the most part these people do not have jobs, have no intention of contributing to our society or tax base. They are content to NOT follow the simple laws of getting permits to gather legally and think they are the law upon themselves. The two people involved have probably never held a job, a lot of these people are trust fund babies and look to their parents to get them out of scrapes. If you have never seen them in action, you are lucky. I am telling you, our area was more 'raped' then they will every be sitting in the county jail for 6 months.

Well, on average you're not far from the mark. But the majority of them are indeed idealistic folks who are taking the opportunity to avoid "real life" as the rest of us know it. It's unfortunate (and unfair) that they expect the rest of us to support their choice. Most of the Rainbowers I've know were sweet, but pretty damn parasitic.

Concerning the clean-up, see post #76 and this:

The Gatherings are not all disasters for the areas, just some of them.
