IF RAVES ARE SHUT DOWN THEY WILL MOVE UNDERGROUND

I ALWAYS used to think that the news was a way to give people the truth, 
but I was wrong. I am a young raver and lately I have been hearing stories 
that raves are terrible and they should be shut down.

I have been to over a dozen raves and never once have I done drugs or seen 
anything worth freaking over. There are rules we must all follow and paid 
security is there to make sure we obey the rules. If raves are shut down 
they will move underground and become uncontrolled and unsecured.

If your kids are going to do drugs, they are going to do them no matter 
where they are. When or if the city shuts down all raves, then kids will be 
on the streets.
