NOOOO!!!! Please, please, please let us not infect Phish with politics. If the rest of the country wants to insert politics into everything they eat, breathe, sleep, poop, etc. let them...but let us not go down that path here, I beg of you. Its summer. Phish is on tour. They just delivered an epic show. Leave it at that.

PS - All the other posters above are correct in that it is the responsibility of the community to smite bad behavior for the sake of the music, regardless of what causes the bad behavior.

Now replace "politics" with "caged children" and read that back to yourself. "Politics" is people's lives. I don't come here to talk about it, but if it breaks out, I don't try to shut it down, either. The nitrous scene at Phish shows is appears to be relevant. So, a little talk about "politics" here and there when it's relevant.... I think it's ok.
