On the left, on the snow patch, a small child, pecking with a shovel. He looks up, across the path and the expanse of melting green to his cohorts. He looks down. "No! No! No!" he screams. "No! No! No! No! No!" And he walks from the snow to the grass to the path and to the grass again, to his small friends, screaming "No! No! No! No!", over and over again, not stopping. Why? What did this child negate, or disavow? What has the child seen or heard or felt, thought or concluded, drifted across? (And then the policeman taps me on the shoulder, instead of yelling "stop.") <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< //welcome to today's dissidence on a.n.n. 1. Why should we care about the rave scene? Although many express discontent at a summer that now becomes winter as we age, the fact remains that the "rave scene" whether interpreted in the vein of liberal humanist politics, (ontological) anarchism, geographies of space or nodes of micrological resistance constitutes an element of subversiveness in the continent of Amerika and the world-in-general. Although corporate and commercial, this is enough of a dis-elemental element that the federal government of the United States of America has proclaimed a "war on raves." 2. Who is the Enemy? And who is the US continually fighting? We do not need to revisit Noam Chomsky to see the cowboy holding the gun facing the mirror. The US always needs a war to maintain the Enemy: to focus the right-wing majority on an Evil, to forget the state of their lives, lost in the ecstasy of murder. 3. Who is doing something about it? Dancesafe. http:///www.dancesafe.com This organisation, whose members have been arrested and charged of practically everything, started out trying to save lives through drug education. Now, their scope has been widened through circumstance: from education to fighting for freedom. Also involved is the American Civil Liberties Union. 4. What's going on? In Florida: raves=crackhouses in the courts. 2 promoters are arrested for throwing parties, i.e. for creating "crackhouses." This is a major legal development that will have national effects in the US and effect Canadian law as well though general repercussions. Dancesafe: "By equating raves with crackhouses, the government is asserting that drug use is the primary purpose for holding the events, and, in fact, is the central focus of the rave culture itself. If they are successful, it will be de facto illegal to hold or promote an electronic music event anywhere in America. The defendants, who are not accused of any direct involvement with illicit drugs, are nevertheless facing 20 years in prison and $500,000 fines SIMPLY FOR THROWING RAVES." 4. Assisting Dancesafe. Visit their website: http://www.dancesafe.com 5. The Next Step. Besides fighting for the freedom to throw raves, a further development must be undertaken: the complete and utter overhaul of the "rave" itself beyond the paradigm that allows the government to track, contain, and prosecute "..." in its current form. 6.

Further Worries: Controlling Your Body, a.k.a. the Injected Panopticon. What goes into my body is my choice, even if my "my" is a little fractured and split into simulacra. Should "I" wish to take drugs, from aspirin to LSD-- and hey, Foucault wrote "History of Sexuality" after encountering among other things S&M and acid-- that's the body's choice as a body. So, this is scary. http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v00/n968/a01.html > >NEW VACCINES MAY DRUG-PROOF KIDS > >The war on drugs may soon be over, but not because of legalization, stiffer >penalties, or a truce between cartels and prohibitionists. This uneasy >peace would come at the hands of pharmaceutical companies and biotech labs, >which are about to unleash the ultimate weapon: the antidrug vaccine. Take away the doctors.
