I never knew much about Burning Man. While some say it is a festival of liberal counter culture druggie types, a few people here on Free Republic said it’s actually a peaceful family friendly event.

If there’s any such thing as a sincere “counter culture” protestor type, it’s sure as hell not the well-off people who spend the money at Burning Man. These are all fake counterculturalists and posers.

Maybe the goofs and nuts that tried to block the expensive vehicles trying to come in are the real thing.

Good job busting them up, Rangers.

And good job by the Lord raining these turkeys out.

Modern day Woodstock? I was only 15 in 1969 but I do remember my dad complaining about the nasty hippies non-stop. LOL

[plain talk]

Interesting art and contraptions. Lots of weird people that are way way out there. I would never attend something like that.

I read that Burning Man is a free love, drug fueled orgy. The eco hippie stuff is just a cover story.

Yeah....not my cupa.

It’s both. And everything in between.

I know. I’ve been there 7 times since 2002.
