Hello "Mr. Happy!" I live in the Northwest corner of America. I'll try to add some insight to your question:

I suspect that the forces that rule these events in your contry are similiar to what happens here. Case in point: Over the last two weeks there's been a big "to do" in a little mountain town here named Sultan. It seems that a very respectable nudist camp just out of Sulton decided to put on a three day "rock fest" over this upcomming holiday weekend.

Well the city and county "Fathers" just could'nt abide that ... after all ... there might be nudity there!

So a big flap happened, all well covered (nice choice of words .... eh?) in the local press.

The story sifted down ... a festival ... no festival ... no permits ... no permits needed ... on and on and on.

As you might guess, just today the festival was cancelled. I forget the latest reason given, as it changed hourly.

I think my point is this ... whatever "powers that be" will be as powerfull as necessary to defeat anything they feel is not in their best interest.

I don't know if I've shed (sorry about that word) any light on your questions. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
