Bonfires in Humarock banned.. one of my fondest childhood memories living in Ocean Bluff.

I could go on and on. We are raising a nation of "bubble children".

yup....it just keeps going, f'in newport folk festival doesnt allow any booze, not even beer! Apparenlty 1% of the people cant handle their booze so they ban it for everyone, crazy! You wouldnt even have folk music if it wasnt for alcohol!
you know what we have in Texas, those little levers on gas pumps that allow you to pump hands free, amazing. Apparently we are willing to take the risk of the 1 in 100,999,000 people who use it may overflow if the pump doesnt shut off!

I'm just telling you that's the argument, not that it's right/wrong... If I recall at R&R, it is limited to the concert area, from a vendor, AND it is Ninigret Park, not state park, which I thought was town propery, not a state park
