Chance? It's happened already. I have witnessed it personally, and
protest against it each time I go to a Gathering. A lot of people have NO
fucking clue, but we, as amarican citizens, can no longer peaceably
assemble on public land. This land is youuur land, this land is myyy
land....NOPE! Check it:

So...we cannot gather as a people, not just the rainbows, but anyone. We
have to have permits, which means that someONE has to be responsible for
the actions of everyone there. Anyhow, like I said, each gathering is a
protest against these new regulations. Noone signs the damned permit,
noone admits responsibility, and more importantly, you should see what the
land looks like after 30-30,000 hippies leave it. Cleaned up, replanted,
and even improved. All gathering sites are "hurt" land. It's been mined,
poisoned, etc, by different companies/the government, which is the reason
for the gatherings: to pray for peace and healing of the earth. Note that
the reason for this new regulation is because of impact upon the land by
large numbers of people, which is aimed directly at rainbow. Anyhow,
I will stop ranting, but don't think for a minute that you have any rights
at all. They are dissolving at a rate much faster than anyone's aware of,
and it's damned scary.

I agree completely. I do feel like the 'net is a huge resource for people
to exchange info, plan projects, protests, grow things, love things. I
like it more than "real life" sometimes because of the lesser amount of
boundaries. (:
