If the Burning Man event could be a study in sociology, anthropology and such, I suggest to throw a few hundred militant Muslims into the mix and see what happens.
Nuke it from space to be sure.....
I don't live in Gerlach, the closest town to Burning Man, but unless they want it shut down I don't really see a problem with them.
The only negative most of Northern Nevada gets to see is the trail of dirty people that leave Burning Man and immediately descend on the restaurants of Reno on their way back to California.
A lot less problems than the gang bangers that show up for Hot August Nights the last few years.
