Got a Gordian Knot in your gut?
We will have fear as long as newspaper editors remain cynically addicted to fear inducing headlines for sales. They profit by our fears. The more fearful we become, the more newspapers we buy to validate those fears. Hullo hamsters! Keep running. You are generating power for some historical event somewhere, beyond our control and receiving our sustenance.
Surely it is not a satisfying life to be afraid of everything outside your box. Come to MardiGrass and see for yourself that our difference can be enjoyed and that we threaten nothing. There might be threateningly different views somewhere else in the world, but not here.
We wear the peace sign, footprint of the chicken, with some pride. We have a lighthearted romp and pageant organised round a peaceful protest once a year. Come and see for yourself the farce that drug laws, over-policing, and media indifference or gullibility (you decide!) can combine to create . Compare the experience to the following Monday's newspaper reports.
We believe cannabis laws and the enforcement of those laws are causing more social harms than cannabis ever could by itself.
So, it's 'Back to the Bush'
