If they spend even one red cent on anything besides weed and rolling papers, Cuba will be lucky!

About 15 years ago they met near me. It was a minor Woodstock without celebrity entertainers.

Not only bears poop in the woods!

Like any large group of people, some were nice, others crooks.

Mostly freaks & drug users.

They had thier gathering near a town I used to live in and they would come into the local store and wash them selves with the produce mister hose. The store would then throw out the produce and they would dumpster dive and get all the thrown away produce and make communal meals.

The Rainbow Family is a bunch of hippies, either elderly hippy-types (who still relive their glory days) or young wannabes who are in it for the dope and easy sex.

They’re Jerry’s Kids. Jerry Garcia, that is.

The Rainbow Family of Living Light, also known as The Rainbow Family, are a loosely affiliated group of individuals committed to principles of non-violence and non-hierarchical egalitarianism.

Founded in 1972 in the United States, the Rainbow Family has held annual Gatherings in National Forests for the first week of July each year. The Rainbow Gatherings are non-commercial and all who wish to attend peacefully are welcome. There are no leaders, and traditionally the gatherings take place for a week, with a primary focus on the Fourth of July in North America, when attendees pray, meditate, or observe silence in a group effort to focus on World Peace. Thus, the name Rainbow Family of Living Light is a reflection of both the emphasis on welcoming people of all races, religions, ethnicity, and social status, as well as a spiritual focus towards peace.
