Burning Man is too big.  It is for the mass.  It is Disneyland.  It is no longer underground.  It is no longer fun.  There are too many people.  There are too many yahoos.  There are too many CEO’s.  There’s too much thump.  There’s too much raving.  There’s too much pollution.  there’s too much dust.  It lacks art.  It lacks good music.  it lacks excitement.

Oh, stop ya whining. See that rainbow? Even the Gods give their blessing to this cultural and social phenomenon. It has defied all logical reasoning and has grown to 46,000 attendees. These people were provided with very little provisions and supervision. There are no street lights or regulated laws, yet hardly any truly “bad” things happen. We get from Burning Man what we choose to get from Burning Man. As with life, the bad comes with the good. I think they call it yin yang. Or Newton’s Third Law ¹. Or something like that…

¹  For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
