maybe in light of the passage of the un-constitutional and pernicious ‘rave act’ (or whatever it’s being called now…’ the illicit un-constitutional drug act passed by politicians who should be doing something useful act’) the rave scene should change it’s sartorial sense.
maybe we should have big illegal underground parties, but instead of pacifiers and glow sticks ravers should wear business suits and wave flashlights.
i can see it now:
un-constitutional anti-rave enforcement guy: ‘boy, we’re shutting down your event cos yer in vi-o-lation of the un-constitutional rave act!’
innocent promoter guy:’sir, if you’ll look for yourself you’ll see that the patrons of this event, although whacked out of their minds on ecstasy and ghb, are not transgressing any legal statutes because they’ve opted to dress like lawmakers and wear business suits. and this un-constitutional act cannot make it a crime to be on drugs, it can only make it a crime to adorn oneself with drug parephanalia.’
and by being opposed to the un-constitutional rave act i’m not in any way endorsing or condoning the use of illegal drugs.
i’m just opposed to yet another un-constitutional measure passed by ‘concerned’ lawmakers who should perhaps be attending to legislation that could actually improve the quality of life in the united states, rather than advancing measures that continue to erode our constitutionally defined civil liberties.
and having said that, please join the american civil liberties union.
thanks,

p.s-my advice to legitimate promoters who might be hurt by the passage of the rave-act would be to study the act and look for loopholes that enable you to circumvent it. if legislators are going to be stupid, your only option is to respond by being smarter than they are (which shouldn’t be hard).
