I recently attended the Littleback Rose Queen Festival. The most fetching local teenage girl, a 15 year old, was selected and wore a lovely dress and flowers. There was a parade, and she floated down the river on a raft and was crowned, and there was food and drink, a pageant and games. In total contrast to the vile trash heaped upon us by the mass-media and big business-funded groups, it was a moving, healthy and meaningful event which I found very enjoyable. We need more such events, they would be an effective way of growing our movement, nevermind that we need them to be healthy.
We also need to reverse the process which delays the maturation of our young people. 15 year olds, especially the girls, should be treated as and expected to perform almost as adults.
