"Rave Act 2" Rave Act Protest on Washington
http://www.arcspace.net/bbs/showthr...25&pagenumber=1
If this becomes a reality, I'm sooo moving to Canada (despite the currency and eskimo winters).
How can you ban dancing? What the hell is wrong with people? Dancing has always been a part of human culture.....
(I'll try and find more infos. Any help would be appreciated).
-edit
There's a RaveACt protest on Sept. 6

Hmmm i was thinking in doing a year at a uni in the US in a few years. If this passes ill sty where i am (no trance, but at leats there are aprties) or maybe go to england or something. This is just wrong
that is complete bullshit to ban dancing to electronic music. And what, u can't dance to trance, but u can freakdance like all those hip hop morons? BULLSHIT
wtf?!?!? these fuckin idiots! i have never been soooo fuckin angry. this is stupid. ban dancing?!? suck my shit...there are more important things than putting millions into banning this stuff...
hahahahahahahahahahaha this is so fucking patetic! how can a free country even consider doing that? you defently need one more political party, one that's not corrupted and one that support freedom.... the one you have now sucks!
americans... 
Go back to your igloo f00l. 
You're the one going to NY. 
Well, essentially it's no different than the rave act that was sneaked in with the amber alert bill. The current anti-rave act essentially allows the owner of an establishment to face criminal charges in the event of drug use. This amendment to the rave act allows prosecutors to indict promoters of an event as well for throwing an event with drugs. So essentially it is granting no new powers, only broadening the list of those who are responsible. I haven't seen any instances where the rave act has been habitually abused since its passing (except for that one marijuana fund raiser so I'm somewhat unconcerned, I still hope it doesn't pass however.
hahahhahahah.
and canada is on the verge of legalizing marijuana.
GO CANADA GO!
Maybe we could get a few DJs to say something? somebody Uber-Mainstream, like Moby or PvD?
You guys dont have to, but im gonna email the hell outta PvD's website about it til i get some feedback...

At the Drug Caucus hearing, witnesses testified that rogue rave organizers commonly go to great lengths to portray their events as safe so that parents will allow their kids to attend. They advertise their parties as alcohol-free events and some even hire off-duty police officers to patrol outside the venue. But the truth is that some of these raves are drug dens where use of Ecstasy and other ``club drugs'', such as the date rape drugs Rohypnol, GHB and Ketamine, is widespread. But even as these promoters work to make parents think that their events are safe, they send a different message to kids. Their promotional flyers make clear that drugs are an integral part of the party by prominently featuring terms associated with drug use, such as the letters ``E'' or ``X''--street terms for Ecstasy, or the term ``rollin''', which refers to an Ecstasy high. They are, in effect, promoting Ecstasy along with the rave. By doing so, unscrupulous promoters get rich as they exploit and endanger kids. Some supplement their profits from the $10 to $50 cover charge to enter the club by selling popular Ecstasy paraphernalia such as baby pacifiers, glow sticks, or mentholated inhalers. And predatory party organizers know that Ecstasy raises the core body temperature and makes the user extremely thirsty, so they sell bottles of water for $5 or $10 apiece. Some even shut off the water faucets so club goers will be forced to buy water or pay admission to enter an air-conditioned ``cool down room.'' . . . Critics of my bill have asserted that if the legislation were to become law ``there would be no way that someone could hold a concert and not be liable'' and that the bill ``holds the owners and the promoters responsible for the actions of the patrons.'' That is simply untrue. We know that there will always be certain people who will bring drugs into musical or other events and use them without the knowledge or permission of the promoter or club owner. This is not the type of activity that my bill would address. The purpose of my legislation is not to prosecute legitimate law-abiding managers of stadiums, arenas, performing arts centers, licensed beverage facilities and other venues because of incidental drug use at their events. In fact, when crafting this legislation, I took steps to ensure that it did not capture such cases. My bill would help in the prosecution of rogue promoters who not only know that there is drug use at their event but also hold the event for the purpose of illegal drug use or distribution. That is quite a high bar. |
wurd to BUZZ

THE RAVE ACT DEFINED
Basically.. The government knows there is no way to control drugs at these "rave" events so they make a law so they can do whatever they want and shut places down without having to do all the work of going undercover and shit.. This is not how governments are supposed to operate.
USA is trying to form a perfect country which is not possible. By doing so they are shutting down everything one by one till we have no rights. Next thing you know we'll be like Singapore and you won't be able to chew gum in public. Altho I do like the idea of caining bastards.. that would stop a lot of crime. Just as long as it's not me :P
As to bad practices of clubs shutting off water I have never been to an event like that. Everyone used to buy 1 or 2 bottled waters and re-fill them in the bathroom. Right in front of a sign at one place that says do not refill your shit.. bla bla that was only 1 place tho.. Other then that I've had awesome club experiences..
my 50 cent.
