No, it is an active attempt to do something about what occurs during the 
weekend of freaknic instead of sitting on their a##es and bit##ing about it 
every chance they get.   It is so easy and simple to sit around and complain. 
A  lot of people in Atlanta seem very adept at it.  When it comes to 
actually doing something to deal with the problem and discussing the 
situation rationally all we hear is "Take it away, we don't want it, blah blah 
blah".   Well, there are people who actually have taken the effort to stop 
complaining, dropping blame and whining.  They have actually taken the time. 
money and effort to promote and do something positive that weekend.  And again 
what do we hear? the same old sarcasm<sp>, and complaining and bit##ing.  For 
gods sake, you may not want the kids here, but they are comming, at least be 
happy that someone is trying to do something to help the situation.  It is 
obvious that you will not.

>Whatever it is, take it to New Orleans or back to Virginia Beach..

Freaknic was never in VB, this is the first year for freedom fest.

Besides, Easy solution isn't it?  Well, the easy solutions normally 
are the worst ones.  Running something or someone out of your town is not the 
answer.  Granted, there are many people in Atlanta who may not want the 
event, but there are also many who are happy that it happens here.  Finding 
a way to host it and make it work and have the least possible negative 
effect is what we need to be doing.  There are many ignorant<sp>, and stupid 
things that are done during freaknic. This to be expected.  When that many 
people get together there are bound to be bad fruits in the bunch.  But 
blindly casting blame on every person who takes part in freaknic is stupid.  
Just as it is stupid to blame an entire race for the actions of some extremist 
or a racist few.

>.I don't
>care for the anarchy in my town...
I do not care for that at all, but I am trying to do my best to ensure that 
the upcomming weekend does not fall to that.  Sitting on my rump whining and 
being zenophobic will not help avoid that.  Taking active action to ensure 
that the weekend goes smoothly will.  

Richard.

BTW: Newt, if you read this don't forget to take your cameras to Daytona also. 
 I mean between freaknic and Daytona beach you can probably get your houseboys 
to eliminate all aid to college students.
