Ugh. While I’m sure the event might be interesting, nothing heightens my hate like hippie hedonism.

Poppycock! There is no moderation in Burning Man. The festival is hypocritical in its counterculture insinuations. It’s a bunch of drug addicts and their dealers looking to make a couple of bucks. Almost 50 thousand people pay $200 or more for this corporate event. They are fooling themselves if they claim that this festival is about anything else than getting high.

The man that burned the wood sculpture before it was supposed to be? That’s counterculture. Try submitting art to the festival that is subtly subversive to the event and its participants. I’m sure it will be warmly accepted.

I like that you jumped to the guns and TV thing. Assuming that I was some asinine conservative looking to ruin some hippies fun, I guess. I don’t mind their stupid festival; I mind how it is disingenuously promoted. I used the word ‘hate’ because I like alliterations and ‘dissatisfaction’ doesn’t start with ‘h’. And, no, I will not chill out, dude. I’m a pissed off cynic and skeptic and I like myself that way.

Well, I don’t feel up to giving some baby boomer that hasn’t showered in three days a blowjob, so yes, I am going to pay for drugs if I went to this thing. Kidding, of course. What I guess you’re saying (since I will never attend this thing) is that people bring their own stash and trade/give freely among others. Well, TANSTAAFL. The drugs came from somewhere, someone had to buy them. So my theory of the event being a dealer’s heaven is shot down due to ignorance (thankfully). Sue me. Better yet, make an effigy of me and burn it.
