Porc fest is about liberty. Everyone's liberty.
Most people who attend may not agree with what is done with other people's liberty, but would die to defend it. Neither I, nor any other person has the right to tell you what to do "in the name of safety"
As long as you aren't hurting anyone else with your actions, you should be left alone.
I don't do or like drugs, but I support your right to kill yourself however you see fit.
I'm not gay, but it doesn't hurt me if you are, go for it.
I wouldn't want my wife or daughter to be a prostitute, but I respect that I have no right to tell that woman what she can/can not do with her body.
I wear my seatbelt everywhere, but I respect that you may want to fly out of a windshield for fun.
I wear a helmet on a bike or motorcycle, but I respect that you might want to paint the sidewalk with your brains.
As for the "A" word, I believe that sentience begins with two cells joining, so that collection of cells has the same rights and liberties as a 95 year old person. (That's my my opinion, and if you'd like to debate it, please PM, keep it out of the thread)
Porcfest won't have people walking around smoking pot, or gay people making out in the streets. There will be events discussing legalization of marijuana, as well as a "gay dance" that you don't have to go to, and won't be out in the middle of the campground in the open.
There will also be several great seminars on activism, as well as weapons safety classes and free range time for newbies, (no additional cost from what I understand).
There's also a cook off, "capture the flag" games, Dances for EVERYBODY (not just the big gay dance off), horseshoes, gymnastics for the kiddies, etc.
The whole purpose is for budding libertarians and constitutionalists to learn more about the movement, and what they can do to advance the goals of Liberty in our lifetime.
But, if you're closed minded, and only care about one of the amendments in the BILL OF RIGHTS, and you think that the Government is doing just dandy, then I respect that, and you don't have to come.
Why are so many people on this forum ignoring so much of what is actually posted and making enormous assumptive leaps into what they perceive was posted?
And why doesn't my liberty include the right to hold whatever values and principles I see fit? Why do mine have to match yours in order for me to not be 'close minded'?
See any irony in your own statements?
