As a 45-year old taxpayer, I object to this persecution

“As a 45-year old taxpayer, I object to this persecution.  I am glad my son enjoys the camaraderie and happiness that is the predominant experience at a rave.  I am proud that he is intelligently experienced in the use of drugs, although I am horrified that this makes him a criminal.  By taking away the freedom of one group, the freedom of us all is lost.  I need my right to silence, my son needs his right to dance in groups of more than 10 people.

All of us need the right to opt out of conventional lifestyles”
