The Rave Act
« on: August 10, 2008, 08:05:54 PM »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAVE_Act

Quote
The bill was sponsored by Senator Joseph Biden, along with cosponsors Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, Joseph Lieberman, Strom Thurmond, Patrick Leahy and Richard Durbin.[1] The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on June 18, 2002. June 27, 2002 it was reported out of the committee without written comment or amendment and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. On October 10, 2002, Senator Biden provided introductory remarks on the bill before the Senate.

This bill was introduced to the Senate again on January 7, 2003 by Senator Thomas Daschle[SD] with co-sponsors; Senator Joseph Biden Jr. [D-DE], Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton [D-NY,] Senator Jon Corzine [D-NJ], Senator Mark Dayton [D-MN] Senator Richard Durbin [D-IL], Senator Edward Kennedy [D-MA], Senator Patrick Leahy [D-VT], Senator Patty Murray [D-WA], Senator Jack Reed [D-RI], Senator Charles Schumer [D-NY]. This bill also failed to pass. [1]

On Thursday (April 10, 2003) the Senate and House passed [2] the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act (formerly known as the RAVE Act) as an attachment to the child abduction-related Amber Alert Bill. The language of the original act was changed slightly before the bill was passed without public hearing, debate or a vote.

Well basically they took the Crack house law. And rewrote it to be able to bust/penalize consert ORGANIZERS for drug related crimes at their event.

Raves died out way before 2003 anyways in the US.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

True that, I am just bitter about raves being a dead thing in the US.

IMO we will see the rave scene resurface worldwide sooner or later, but we will probably be to old for it by then. For now one yearly 40 000 ppl event will have to do.

Ah the joys of being a teenager in early nineties Britain. Been there, done that, got the teeshirt. I miss it dearly, but alas that time has probably passed for me.

I'll always look back fondly at all those lost weekends spent trying to destroy as many brain cells in as many different ways as possible.  :D
