The Battle of Wakarusa
NLG and ACLU Fail to Defend Liberty

In early June 2006, the Wakarusa Music Festival took place around the USA Army Corps of Engineers Clinton Lake park facilities. About fifteen thousand people from around the country came for the festival, camped out, listened to live music, and brought millions of dollars in sales to area businesses.

But it wasn't all good news. With a USA feral "high intensity drug-trafficking area" grant, the State of Kansas and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department organized blockades of Kansas Highway 10, US Highway 59, and off ramps from Interstate 70, causing a three-day traffic snarl, violating individual liberties, and generally making a mess of the festival. The organizers who have brought the event to Lawrence, Kansas for three years in a row are considering not having it again, due to the oppressive police presence.

There goes the Fourth Amendment. The writer correctly asserts that the lawyers, a government granted monopoly, can't seem to get organized in time to defend our freedoms. But, they have no problem getting organized to take the benefits of a government monopoly. Sigh, what can one person do?
