Wasted space?
Okay, the united states has too many laws, this one is actually in the books. Give common sense a chance.
title 4> chapter 1> § 4
§ 4. Pledge of allegiance to the flag; manner of delivery The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.

Any Suggestions?
Current mood:  chipper
I want to raise an important issue we are facing in our community. Before I get into this too much I want to clearly define our community people who attend barter fairs, family fairs and reunions and trading circles as well as gatherings. I am going to explain how and why we need communication and participation in our culture. I am also very soon starting a network of like minds to help facilitate this. -->[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -->[endif]--> I believe it is the job of any member of any culture to make sure their culture exist safely, harmoniously and capable of survival through adversity. If many members of any given culture stop communicating their values and principles to new members or even close outsiders the only result can be the death of that current culture. We as "hippies" have an obligation to make sure that the world knows that there are other more natural ways to live in America and that we are and deserve to be free. -->[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -->[endif]--> In the last couple of years I have noticed a trend rearing its ugly head around the festy circuit, and this trend is manifesting itself in many different ways. Lack of communication between different peer groups and the lack of elder to youth communication is starting to tear our community apart. The elders of our community have stopped participating in the education of the next generation and this is causing their/our entire culture to be destroyed, for lack of a better word. Young adults and teenagers have been left unguided and uneducated for far to long. This problem has been manifesting itself in many different ways; violence, drug abuse and even stealing. Also drug dealers have turned our festivals into their own personal fundraisers and have been ignoring our community values and safety. Now you may ask yourself how communication and participation could prevent these from happening, how are they even related? It's simple, if you don't tell somebody that what he or she is doing is wrong, how are they supposed to know, social instinct isn't that powerful. The leaders of our community seem to have forgotten that it is their job to guide and educate the younger members. If the elders don't get my generation involved, many of the festivals will not exist in the next 5-15 years. -->[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -->[endif]--> I want to raise my children in the festival circuit and I'm afraid of what it is becoming. Our festivals are supposed to be family gatherings and I see nothing of the sort among the elders or youth of our community. If you see something you don't like and know doesn't belong in our community it is your job to do something about it right then and there. Leading by example is not going to be good enough, times are changing and compromises need to be made. If we do not adapt, everything done since the 60's will have been done in vain. If we can't organize ourselves we have no chance of reclaiming our country. -->[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -->[endif]-->

Education is harm reduction.
When a government chooses to use prohibition as a form of harm reduction and this system is failing, it is the peoples job to protect themselves. Education is the only viable and currently legal option. If we can do a better job than the government and show buy example that education is a more effective form of harm reduction then maybe reform could become possible. Since we are a government of, for and by the people, it is the peoples job to be of, by and for the people. We are losing control of our democracy, and the more we let this happen the harder it will become to say no, enough is enough and I demand all my personal freedoms. If we wait to long, we may never even get a chance. Our government is designed to be changed and we are giving up our rights to facilitate some of these necessary changes. In the long run this isn't about drug prohibition, it's about the preservation of choice. I noticed a problem about 6 years ago, it was teenagers binge drinking, eating drugs they didn't even know the name for let alone knew what those drugs where going to do to their body and minds. Some of these kids where scaring the shit out of themselves, some would even go as for as to try and hurt or kill themselves. If it wasn't for people with experience around the might have succeeded. The more we teach people about what they where doing, the less these "freak-outs" happen. Eating drugs does do harm, we can and eventually will reduce the risk of harm in our entire community. Harm reduction is what I am going to call it, because harm reduction is what we are doing. -->[if !supportEmptyParas]--> -->[endif]--> I challenge anybody to show me an example of prohibition working, and I'll show you 10 examples of education working better. You can't protect people from themselves; you can only give people all the information available and help them to make a safe decision, that's freedom. Freedom is the ability to choose your own destiny, by denying information or simply not providing it, you are denying choices available thus denying their freedom. I say as long as prohibition is in effect, every abused or neglected child raised in drug culture, every teenaged pregnancy and every drug related accidental death or over-dose is the fault of those who perpetuate prohibition. I think he only reason organizations like the DEA exist is because they like their jobs, and if we reform our drug policies then they will loose their jobs. Can you imagine the money our government could save, use for better means like education? Even more the money we could generate taxing drugs. If only one percent of the population habitually smoked marijuana and each member of that group smoked 1 gram a week, and we set a flat tax rate of .25 cents a gram that would generate 78 million dollars a year, and that's low balling it. At 5% of the population that's 390 millions dollars, and if the average smoker smoked 3 grams a week and we taxed 1 whole dollar a gram that would be a 4.68 billion dollars a year.

DEA Bust of Avvy and his response
Article about the DEA setup and bust of Allen "Avvy" Lint -
http://www.bonnercountydailybee.com/articles/2007/07/31/news/news01.txt
________________________________________________________
U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT vs. YOU
Big Brother is Watching
A Critique of the U.S. Federal Governments Attack of Your Rights and Liberties
By Allen Lint, 10/05/2007
BACKGROUND-
On July 26th, 2007 the Federal Government illegally assaulted and robbed me. Stories and lies were leaked to the media trying to prosecute me in the arena of public opinion. But the public media swarm of lies did not simply fall against me and my co-defendant, but also against the "Barter Fair" family as a whole. Though I committed NO CRIMES on July 26th, 2007, and am entitled to a presumption of innocence, the federal government told lies to the newspapers saying that I committed drug crimes, and perhaps worse, laid claim that the "Barter Fair" community is one based exclusively upon drugs. They claimed publicly that our family oriented/spiritual gatherings, fully protected by 1st amendment rights, are open "drug markets." This is just one example of all the UNFOUNDED lies that the Feds are spreading to turn the rest of society against us and destroy our community.
WHY-
The Federal government is trying to turn public opinion against our tradition and lifestyle. Just like in the days of Nazi Germany in the 1930's, they understand that if you devalue public opinion of a minority group with contrived misinformation, the majority of society will look the other way when they start denying the minority due process, civil liberties, or basic human rights.
FACT: Once you justify the denial/removal of the rights of a minority group or individual, you immediately justify the loss of your own rights. As you should remember from the pledge of allegiance, the United State of America is a REPUBLIC. A Republic is a form of government where 99% of the people can not take away the rights of 1%… but in this day and age the federal government seems to think that they can remove and trample on the rights of any group or individual that has a alternative way of life.
TRUTH-
The "Barter Fair" community is NOT a community of drugs and partying, as the feds would like the rest of society to believe. It is a community based on traditional living and purposeful gatherings. In the early 1820's the area of the Northwest was host of "rendezvous trade circles" where many native tribes and communities would gather to trade and barter goods to get them through the seasons. Our "Barter Fairs" are based upon these traditional values. Our private events are protected by our 1st Amendment Rights to gather. The "barter fairs" are usually held on private land and are PRIVATE spiritual gatherings for our community to come together to celebrate life, practice our family based tribal way of life, dance to our folk music, pray for peace, help one another, have fellowship with our friends and family, expand our spirituality in the privacy and comfort of family, raise and pass along traditional education to each other and the children of our tribes, and trade goods to help one another get through the seasons. It is a community of love, peace, spirituality, respect, liberty, and natural traditional living.
PROFILING-
The federal government is trying to say that our gatherings and community is based on drugs. They claim to occasionally hear of drug use and activity in our community. It is ridiculous hypocrisy to hold our community to a higher standard then the rest of society. At any gathering of people, there will always be a few 'bad apples' in the bunch. Be it a House of Congress, a police convention or a golf tournament, you will find individuals partaking in drug use and drug activity. In fact, those gatherings are proven to have more hardcore drug activity then any of our natural, peaceful gatherings. They are attacking OUR gatherings instead of theirs because we have a different way of life: They are criminally slandering our lifestyle to destroy our gatherings. We can't let them deny us our rights!
THEIR TACTICS OF WAR-
The federal government is already using tactics of war against the "barter fair" community. They are already routinely denying members of the community, including myself, the rights of due process, and many other rights. For example, I was taken into custody illegally on July 26th, brutally attacked, denied food and water and restroom for hours being forced to stand in a puddle of my own urine. The illegal brutality continued for about 45 days until finally being released on strict bail conditions limiting my movement to 100ft of the phone line of the facility that I was bailed out to. I was denied a probable cause hearing. The affidavit supporting the warrant for my arrest, which was issued a day AFTER I was illegally taken into custody, has been sealed. It is your right as the public to see this affidavit and they refuse to show it. They are denying me the right to face my accusers by sealing the evidence against me in order to protect the myriad of confidential informants working for them. In doing research reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance they illegally obtained at our gatherings over the last year, I would like to share with you some of the TACTICS OF WAR they ARE USING AGAINST YOU, and tips of how to defend from their assault.
1. Hidden Cameras
Agents have regularly trespassed into our private spiritual gatherings, especially the Okanogan Family Faire, without permission or warrant, with hidden video cameras and audio devices. The cameras are hard to spot as they are disguised as Beer cans, Juice bottles, buttons on coats, and hats. They profile against people wearing backpacks and follow around people with long hair. They make a point to travel around the circle and capture license plate numbers of every vehicle, so that they can gather information about the owners of the vehicles for later use.
2. Drug Activity
The feds are partaking of and encouraging the use of drugs while they spy on our community. They talk people into doing things they wouldn't normally do like obtaining drugs for them by befriending family & continuously badgering, begging, asking, and offering large sums of money. They cause the crimes that they are accusing the community of doing.
3. Divide and Conquer
This is an old tactic of war that they are using against us. The Fed spreads lies inside our community in hopes to turn it in on itself. They tell the media lies to cause a divide in the community. For example, they told the lies to the media about my illegal arrest, in hopes that the community will point blame causing a lesion deep within our family. They post fabrications in public forums alleging that certain activities have caused various problems within the community. They know that by dividing a community, they are weakening it and therefore it is easier to conquer. DIVIDE CONQUER DESTROY
TIPS
1. Play Music at your Camp. Reviewing the videos and audio, it was determined that music with heavy bass being played at a camp caused lots of static on their microphones and made their recordings inaudible.
2. Do not incriminate yourself or others. Obviously, don't do anything that can be misconstrued as illegal. Also don't talk about the illegal activities of others.
3. Cover your license plate. While your vehicle is parked on private property, the license plate does not have to be visible. Don't allow them to violate your rights of due process and get your info for merely being someplace. Cover or remove your plates while at our gatherings.
4. Unite and stand strong in support of the community. Don't fall for the lies they are feeding the media. Remember what our community is really about and stand strong in support of it. Don't fall for their dividing tactics by pointing fingers, laying blame, or letting suspicion tear us apart. Treat one another with love and respect and remember it is our duty to remind each other that our community is about love, fellowship, peace, and traditional living. Don't let tempers flare rather approach with compassion and love as family and educate all of the true values of our community. It's important to stand strong on our traditions. They can only beat us if we let them.
The Constitution of this nation protects our rights to gather and live with spiritual and communal values deeply engrained in our traditions.
Be Good Family

Cheese Grater!!!!!!!!!!
Current mood:  giggly
Category: Friends
Hi Everybody!!!
I know us Llamas don't blog as often as we should, but I (Nathan typing) assure you that is likely to change here in the near future. Hopefully. So I guess I'll do my part and post a Llama update.
1. 2 Llama birthdays just occurred (Kelly's and myself).
2. The 5th anniversary of the llama tribe was celebrated at the OCF. It was awesome.
3. Free hugs are still for sale and I am proud to report that after long and complicated calculations I have decided we've probleby already sold 500,000 free hugs. And I for one don't plan on slowing down anytime soon :P
4. Planning for the 3rd annual Llama Family Reunion and Gathering of the Tribes is already started. kinda…… A date should be coming up soon.
If you are reading this, thank you. And also if you didn't read this but totally meant to or just couldn't get to it, I might as well thank you to, but you owe me a hug. If you haven't already made all your friends join our myspace friends list, I must let you know that you and all your friends, owe me hugs to. But really everybody should be on our friend's page and we need our current friends to help us out with that. Then our fiendish plan of befriending the world will become a reality.
Okay I'm not really making much sense right now so I'll end with this…
(Insert profound closing statement here)
Love,
The Llama Family
P.S. –I would like to make a small correction to item 2 in the Llama I'm to lazy for MLA update list and scratch the last item. It is a gross error. In all actuality, it was awesome times infinity.
