WAR ON A SUBCULTURE

The drug war, although well meaning, is turning into an all out subculture
war. As a raver of five years I shouldn't have to feel threatened by just
attending a party.

And, to be honest, I could never afford to battle a ticket. Companies such
as dancesafe are doing more good than the "War on Drugs".

Why? Because of actual information, not fear tactics.

You can never scare kids out of going to parties. And the ones who are on
drugs will never be scared because of that very fact. And as far as candy
and water being found at that rave in Racine, there's candy and water at
punk shows and neo-nazi gatherings but the "War on Drugs" never goes to
those venues.

In summation, the scene won't die until we all do.
