OCF symbolizes hope for individualism streaks that hallmark Western civilization (e.g., evolution of the protagonist in Western civilization novels and poetic spirit and vision that lurk in Everyman as Blake wrote, waiting rebirth). In Blake mythos Jesus was not the most repressed but most creative Spirit.

Those here decades know OCF ups and downs. Football, roller coasters, prescriptions hurt kids, kill; why not ban them?

I was shocked 6 years ago to read half of those with health insurance take prescription drugs! Recently KVAL, RG, documentaries covered opioid epidemics triggered by pill addiction: and heroin $10 vs. $80 for one pill; 10% of the population hooked in one city, many starting on legal drugs. 

Do we ban prescription drugs, docs who enable zombies?

Like Burning Man, OCF attendees plan a year for the next costume, act, a chance for exuberant creative free safe expression. Workaday worlds can be & are transformed, inspired by zany influences like OCF. 
Arriba, Eugene!
