That is very disturbing Humuhumu. I don't know if I would blame it on the "Seattle music scene". Raising a child like that is horrible and is not limited to any segment of society(Not that I think this was your point). Happens in every city in the Country every day. I have seen simular at "hippy" concerts but know it is not the music or culture that is the problem it is something far more encompasing(sp), I've seen simular more than I would like to think of on the streets of South Florida, San Francisco, Hartford ect... There is a small ugly segment of society that exist in all areas of society and when thousands of people get together in one small spot a group of leaches will always follow creating problems, I would not blame this on any one group at all. I do know that the people I have met who love Tiki and the people I have met that are "hippy's" (or what might be called a hippy nowadays) are very cool people usually and the "ugly" element is always less when I am amongst these people. My point I guess is that when I meet someone who likes Tiki or who maybe considered a Hippy I am interested right away, it is a good start I think. I think maybe I am strange I love both modern hippy culture and Tiki and I realize it maybe my strangness that is the issue, Peace Mick.
