that is the right attitude yonosoymedico. I know that there is craziness of all kinds in every country, and places like south africa and india with the high level of poverty by extension have high levels of drug abuse, but, how many of them have found rainbow gatherings? i have heard that gatherings in other countries are small and mellow, it be interesting to hear more about that... and yes, i would love to flee this scene. airfair being expensive, ways to survive in a foriegn country being difficult, etc, it's sort of a future goal right now. im here now, and this is my family. at least we're talking about this madness. it's sort of a one-sided conversation though. it's some of us talking about the others....i don't know, it's complicated....
yonosoymedico, my point is, where ever you go, there you are. it's not going to necessarily be "better" just because you are somewhere else - all places and people have their problems. take the time to make where you are better.
I definitley agree, realize your potential energy and allow it to flow wherever needed... love love my whole thing about getting out of the states is just to point out that no matter what the scene may be here, its not universal, its one moment in time, thirty years ago it was different, three years in the future itll be different...everything is changing, everything is change... we are a part of that, and only we can decide to utilize the power of choice... now is the time AdAM
