Ocala is gonna be a nuthouse

"The Microcosm contains the Macrocosm." Trying to do a gathering in the U.S. without one bit of Early 21st Century American Culture (OK, maybe that culture sucks, but it's what we have to work with) would be like trying to do a gathering where everyone brings their own air.

This would include me. I don't like drums. I prefer the music of guitars and woodwinds, which is overpowered in drum circles by drummers who don't understand the musical concept of dynamics. I like "No Drum Zones" like Tea Time and the Lovin' Ovens. (Too bad we'll never get the Ovens folks to Ocala, even if they are a bunch of prima donnas. )

I take it you're not on the Belly Button Standard? Me neither, kind of. I'll believe Federal LEO's have real ones when I see a statement signed by a Doctor of Medicine who is willing to say that the physical exams he has performed show no signs inhumanity.

Uhhh...the Permit Signing Mason is a Jew. When did the Nazis start letting them in?

So, you are saying that the Jones Family was much smaller at Ocala before 2001? I can't speak from personal experience, except for the '97 Ocala, but I plenty of kids fishing for nuggets then. Even if you are correct in stating that jonesing at Ocala has increased since 2001, I don't see a causal relationship between complying with Permit Regs an jonesing. Could you please explain?

You're Boomer Sirius, aren't you?

 

What the hell is a rainbow gathering?

You say that some of us never make it to the main circle, because we are to busy eating LSD and Smoking reefer, and drinking alcohol. Well first off i dont drink, and secondly everything you said has proven right my point we are all out there for different reasons, and i have as much right to my beliefs and customs as you do yours. You say that the people tripping and smokin all the time will never be family, who's family. I know that my family is different than yours and we are plentyful too. Maybe I dont wanna be a part of your family if your going to try to set regulations on these gatherings. Or even criticize me for what i do or what i write. You all just need to sit back and relax and allow people to have fun. Maybe its not the drug users that are the problem maybe its the people who are intimidated by them, or the people who judge things without having first hand experiened them. Or maybe its just that ur afraid of change. Well whatever it is you had better fix it because i can gaurantee that you will come out shorthanded on this. If history has taught us anything its that you cannot judge, discriminate, or segregate, and I believe drug users deserve respect too

 

Wow. Thanks for reminding me why I ran screaming back to Babylon after one Ocala experience...

Edit: Not that one Ocala experience was my only Rainbow experience, I did plenty of real gatherings, I just never counted Ocala as a real Rainbow experience...

 

I could care less if we are one dawn sky short in Ocala

OH YEAH What a DAY lovin it up

 

damn im full of wisdom!

 

THANK YOU ALL for letting me end my thread with my own beautiful speech PEace up in her yall

 

I hear ya, brother bear. I have a two year old neice who is into that "I, me, mine" thing, too.

So, what's your plan, exactly? Stand up in the middle of main circle and announce "Hey, I'm Mollyredmore, anybody that wants any white powders or nitrous, my camp is over there"?

 

could be a good idea turnup but i will be talkin with people i talk to and not you.

I am not going to say nothin I already have enough people with me to suffice just fine

 

PLUS IM ANTI MAIN CIRCLE I DONT LIKE THE PLACE You cannot even sit up there without people begging you for smoke

 

No literally now its gonna be a nuthouse I know for a fact feds rounded up 30 or 40 people that they suspected of cooking meth in the woods. Ocala seems more likely to be a big raid then any sort of gathering. I remember my drum saved me in 2003 when i was confronted by a cop and asked what i was doing well away from the gathering site i replied "im going to a drum circle". he proceeded to search and seize the people in the car behind me. Its great when ur only exuse is Im a hippy lol

 

raves were not about drugs, rainbow is definitely not about drugs. isn't it bad enough that the peace, love, unity, and respect of the rave culture was brutally murdered by drug pushers and criminal vampires. But for god sakes, leave the family alone. sacrements are just that, sacred. keep your garbage out of our home.

plur

yeah, molly, well the meth labs ain't rainbow OR gathering, it's there all year round. there are some seriously fucked up people in the ocala forest that have nothing to do with family. maybe ya'll will persecute me, but i am glad they busted those labs - i live in florida and i love the ocala forest, it was getting so bad that i didn't even want to camp there ever, gathering or no gathering.

from http://floridacoalition.org/flmethamphetamine.htm:

Methamphetamine laboratories create 5 to 7 pounds of toxic waste for every pound of methamphetamine produced. Most of the toxic residue from methamphetamine production is dumped in the local area, killing vegetation and contaminating water supplies and soil.

​

this does not sound like rainbow mentality, or a gathering ideal. and after googling this issue, i don't see any official mention of rainbows or the gathering in relation to the meth labs. the labs just moved into our forest and now we suffer for it.

 

Likewise. Just respect each other's preferences...geez.

 

After reading all these posts, you couldn't pay me enough money to show up at ocala. It makes me want to run screaming the other way. I'd rather stay in Babylon. At least here, I can have some control on my environment. This is truely hippy hell at its worst. I cannot believe that many of the posters here are even Rainbow family. My conspiracy theory brain wants to tell me that some of you are government plants, sent here to work at breaking the rainbow family apart. This is the reason why rainbow gatherings get a bad name. Anyone who brings heat onto a gathering site is being totally disrespectful of what the family is all about. Individuals who make such a point of spewing negativity, and bragging about all the drugs they will be doing and bringing there should be shunned, because these souls are detrimental to the survival of the rainbow. And on the other hand, if I were those young folks from out west who were mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I would be livid for having been narked out. All this does is make it harder for the drug suppliers to supply their drugs to the folks who only come for the party. The whole thing is beyond Stupid.
Perhaps in this is the answer to some of the problems encountered at the nationals. There should be a totally separate gathering, close by maybe, but yet separate. Let them sign their permits, let them have their low conciousness drugs (meth, nitrous, alcohol, hell-let 'em huff propane for all I care) Let them fight, let them blast their boom boxes. Just keep their ignorance away from the real rainbow gathering. They can hang out and do their bad drugs and carry their bad attitudes, and pretend to be rainbow, and the rest of us can relax and not have to be bothered by their selfishness at all. Eliminate the riff raff by giving them their own space AWAY from the rest of us. Sort of like A-camp, except farther away.
