DammitChloe, I am of the opinion that this forum on the internet is the perfect place to have these discussions.
I am sure that most people enjoying the springs go there for the healing peaceful properties and many don't want to talk about these issues while at the springs. I don't blame them.
That is why we talk about them here. This is a free country and people will talk about what they want and where they want.
Even though these are difficult issues, I think these discussions have been healthy and informative.
We have also discussed fun times and experiences at the springs which help to balance the discussions. Yin Yang.
