I wonder


I never got into the rave scene even though I was in Dallas during the middle of 2000 until 2003. It never struck me to go. I was doing the poetry scene and hanging out with artists and felt pretty good about that kind of exposure. But more people speaking out for drugs all over and gatherings... like this one. This is the new channel, and it's happening out front.

 Rave moves from Las Angeles to Las Vegas venue

This story makes me wonder what's going to happen with then national spirit of youth is stirred to finally be more active as well as convincing. In the 60s and 70s, the movement of the babyboomers was by no mistake understood and known in Every home. The way communication has changed, nobody is seeing all the same stuff. If "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" came out today,  nobody would know what an M&M was -- much less that people ever ate things that didn't come in packages.

What happens when the back-building of peoples movements gains a stream and they choose to think in channels instead of be given channels. You can't have this much energy and not have it create a current to swirl things up. I've seen the "slow and steady wins the race" thing going on, but I wonder what happens when predictions of society are combined with this kind of youthful spirit.
