The hypocrisy of Burning Man is wide and deep:

World class traffic jams as 60,000 people drive down a rural two lane road. In addition, more fossil fuel is wasted as these 60,000 people fly and drive in from great distances while claiming to be friends of the earth.

Claiming to be against creature comforts while the ultra rich bring their creature comforts with them.

Claiming to be egalitarian—see above.

Seeking closeness to the planet through meditation while the motorcycle engines roar and thousands are making all kinds of noise.

There must be a hypocrisy gene in our DNA—we humans can be such jerks.

... This is supposed to be about love, happiness, sharing, giving and appreciating. "It is unbelievable that there are angry people here."

You think I'd be met with love and happiness if I walked around smiling, handing out information about the personal and societal harms associated with sexual immorality? You think there might be some "angry people" after all, no matter how sweet I was?

There must be a hypocrisy gene in our DNA—we humans can be such jerks.

Yup.

” There must be a hypocrisy gene in our DNA—we humans can be such jerks.”

Whoa Kimosabe! You were doing just fine until that last bit of generalization.
