I had heard about Burning Man before, but never knew what it was... I looked into it a little this year because an old high school friend found me on Facebook. He added me to his group that built a 6 story tall tower with stained glass and a spiral staircase to the top of it with balconies at each level. It was pretty cool. He already had a double masted sailing ship built on an RV chassis from years before... known as the Monaco

From my research, it is intended as a big Art event with “Art Cars” I saw a video of them towing a 747 out there for it... It is really just a HUGE week long adult party where apparently clothing is optional...

I read another article where they are already plans to file suit against the BIA for “unconstitutional” traffic stops where they bring in the drug sniffing dogs and write them a ticket for crossing the center line or speeding by 3mph over the limit

BTW in years past I have been pulled over twice on two different Indian reservations for breaking the 25mph speed limit by 3 mph... The second I actually got lucky with just a warning because I showed him my Garmin that still had a 35 mph speed limit listed and told him I just saw that 25mph sign right there in front of us and I was already slowing down when he hit me with his radar... They are VERY strict on traffic laws, get behind a truck on the reservation and they wont budge off 20mph.

Essentially the worship of nihilism.

OK, that makes me wonder what would happen if WWII Japan Air Force did a Surprise Attack on Burning Man.

Takes two weeks and a few hundred people to clean up the mess. They don’t even leave a roach behind. The BLM does an inspection after they are done cleaning up.
