hey now!
well, I guess this is one where we just agree to disagree, dear bro,
with all respect...
I don't think the Katuah council that was held on my land was any
less rainbow because I didnt allow myself or my resources to be
exploited weeks ahead of time, the council itself was open, as long
as there was no drinking...
But I still say that Anarchy works both ways, and if I hold a circle,
and choose to call it rainbow, and don't want people showing up to
drainbow weeks in advance or hanging out afterwards to do the same,
then I get the idea from you that the only way I can prevent the
ruination of our relatively obscure and so far so good relationship
with local leo's and forest service folks is to hold it on private
land and not call it rainbow...
well, there is no authority in rainbow, other than the local
(regional) councils,
and the one held, where concensus is reached at the national gather...
(hopefully) on site for the next year.
I feel freeeeee as rainbow to have any event I want wherever I want,
and call it whatever I want, as long as I respect thelocal family and
don't sabatoge their resources, their relationships with leo's and
fs., or drain the local resources for the indigent in the process.
Respectfully disagreeing,
(and I know we love our diversity of opinion)
and loving you!
How are all your medical movies coming out?
peace,
