The garbage left, although dispicable, wasn't the main harm, I observed trees cut, trampled earth/new trails, and human waste everywhere. Hippocrasy. Very sad.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569431108378264871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-44866353036510271982011-07-08T18:03:02.306-06:002011-07-08T18:03:02.306-06:00After reading those last two comments it seems lik...After reading those last two comments it seems like the effects of the drugs are long lasting.<br />There must have been lots of outhouses on site, or did the great unwashed clean up that also?<br />As for the cows, at least they add fertilizer to the soil as opposed to the litter from the moonbats. Besides, cattle are more pleasant to deal with, and they take their flies with them. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-48170323261223211632011-07-08T13:02:42.214-06:002011-07-08T13:02:42.214-06:0019000 cows would have left a much more severe and ...19000 cows would have left a much more severe and lasting impact than a group of back to the land hippies. The few incidents are miniscule in relation to the number of people there. Of course the 150 forest service citations and the "full docket" of the local court is the real coup de gras. The court and LEO's are after what little money the people had, or maybe some free labor for the sheriff and judges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-25329450913739939612011-07-08T11:39:27.589-06:002011-07-08T11:39:27.589-06:00The woman who died there this year did so from nat...The woman who died there this year did so from natural causes -get your facts straight brother! <br />I was at the Gethering this year, my frist time. I was amazed at how there was not one cigarette butts on the ground like all other fastivals I've been to, people cleaned up after themselves unlike most common public gatherings. There was only three incidents of anger/violence? Well, isn't that utterly amazing for any get together of 19,000 people!?! i'm impressed!!<br />There was more love at this gathering then one can get in a lifetime living in Babylon (the 'real' world). There was acceptance of the weak, odd, and different. There was an abundance of giving, more than I believed human could give; of themselves, food, water, love...<br />It was an experience that changed me forever for the good! I hope you all get a chance to experience the wonder of a truely functional society of caring for all and without the total distruction of the earth -like what we are doing daily to the real world.<br />Peace my brother and sisters, lovin' you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
