No doubt this person has already sent her comments to EH as she did
last year and no doubt every newspaper in wilts not forgetting the
daily mail and Gordon Brown. She has every right to express her
opinion along with other similar confectioned articles from very
radical right wing sounding pagans or even mildly conservative ones
but she and they represent a small and as we see here overtly over
represented vocal minority of the overall evaluation and enjoyment
of the attendees at the open access 2007.
I support the pagans who wish to enjoy the solstice and respect them
for their tolerance and good spirit despite the stupid and
insensitive comments.
It´s not perfect but some of these views in these letters are
outrageous and close minded, fortunately the majority of the people
had a great time at the solstice.
All I can say is be wary of the this type of cut and paste
propoganda of a a small goup who are trying to hoist their own
agenda. This type of diatribe is likely to make the pagans prescence
at stonehenge even more difficult when we should be educating the
public and especially young people to comprehend and empathise with
the pagan point of view. These type of comments make it harder and
make pagans seem more ridiculous not less.
99% of comments, photos, videos that I have seen so far have been
favourable doesn´t surprise me that this has come up now. I would
not be making key points of this iffy material. But do what you
will.
You made some good responses Fee. Looking foward to reading the
minutes.
Peace and freedom and tolerance.
A pagan dream...... the festival is that way..............well on
those mats over there.......A young male raver goes sigh doesn´t
wash hari hari London bus...... we don´t want crumbs we want cake.
More information on amplified music would be helpful though! I did
see one incident where a ghetto blaster and owner were escorted off
the premises by EH Security. But wasn't aware of anything else.
Pathetic. Live music at stonehenge yes yes yes............
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
