It would be a truly great day if the #1 threat to our nation's well-being was the yearly gathering of the Rainbow Family.  These folks are "counter-culture".....they're different from the "average".......so what?  They're peaceful, decent folks who gather yearly to celebrate life and community.  They harm no one and their impact on the area where they camp is far less than, say, a timber clearcut or over-grazing by ranchers with range permits.  But, hey, look at that  "tie-dye" stuff...."bunch of damn hippies!!!"  Again I say, so what?  

If folks really want something serious to complain about, just look around you.   I think you can draw-up a long, long list of issues which are genuinely harmful to our well-being.  May I suggest the yearly gathering of the Rainbow Family won't even rate an "Honorable Mention."  Gary Crum
