STOP DISCRIMINATION AGAINST SUBCULTURES

Bravo for the thoughtful and balanced "The Death of Disco" ( Aug 5 ).  The federal "crackdown" on dance clubs is nothing short of an attack on an entire subculture of our society, allegedly due to a vague connection with drugs.

( I guess the feds don't realize that drug use permeates almost every part of our society, and that it's just more obvious at clubs.  ) When will we learn?

We did it to the blacks, to women, and then to the gays.  I'm not sure if discrimination based on the kind of music you listen to is more or less distasteful than skin color, gender, or sexual orientation, but I do know one thing: I'm ready for us to stop discriminating against ANY subculture.
