At least half a million people together in unbelievable conditions. Little shelter, little food, lots of rain, but singing and dancing and music all day and half the night. No fighting at all. A major highlight of my life. Hard to think that some of these people became rw tools. But, it's nice to think that an atmosphere of peace and love is possible with liberal, caring, fair-minded people as the majority. We just have to drown out the noise a little better.
