yankis del orto, despues hablan de "libertad" :rolleyes:

Según parece, las libertades civiles en Estados Unidos (la tierra de la libertad?) penderán de un hilo cuando el nuevo RaveAct (parte 2) sea votado como ley y el simple hecho de bailar pueda ser castigado por las autoridades.

'Como el Rave Act, el Ecstasy Awareness Act (HR 2962) (así es su nombre en ingles) podría censurar los recitales en vivo y el hecho de bailar, llevando a que gente inocente como cualquiera de nosotros pueda terminar en la carcel. Declaro la DPA (Drugs Policy Alliance)

'El hecho de que el uso de drogas es probable en cualquier evento musical, la ley HR 2962 abre la puerta para que cualquier organizador, promoter o dueño de un club pueda ser metido en la cárcel. No importa si trataron de prevenir a la gente para que no usen drogas. No importa si la mayoría de la gente que estaba en el evento era ciudadanos normales que solo querían ir a escuchar música y no a drogarse".

Cualquier dueño, promoter u organizador que sea encerrado en la cárcel por esta nueva ley, puede recibir una pena de 20 años, mientras que cualquier tipo de fiesta que se realice en territorio norteamericano puede ser intervenida por las autoridades.
