| #9 Yup. I just wish that energy and ingenuity were focused on more lasting contributions. And no, I'm not a Burning Man attendee. By the time they were running I already had family commitments and a career to manage. I did my experiential stuff at places like Esalen. |

| #8 my 73 yr old aunt from Fernley went to last years' Burning Man for a day just to see what was going on Believe it or not, even the Army attends Burning Man to scope out new and innovative technologies that are unveiled there. Our 2003 camp had an octagonal surround-sound music PA powered by a 100,000 Watt diesel generator. Serving as camp chef I made sure we enjoyed fresh blueberry pancakes, spaghetti dinners and all sorts of goodies. Best of all, our location was across the "street" from the "Green Gorilla Lounge". Essentially, it was an open bar that operated some 20 of 24 hours per day. Free drinks for all, liquor contributions and salty snacks were welcomed. You will never understand what Burning Man is like unless you go there yourself. There is nothing else akin to it on this entire earth.  The "Temple of Honor", viewed from "The Avenue of Lights", whose 4'x8' plywood faces were entirely covered by Escheresque geometric printouts to make an incredibly ornate and inspiring structure. Burned to the ground on the last day, of course.  "The Hand of God" with five different propane jets that were triggered by ignitors whose delay allowed huge 100 foot tall geysers of flame to erupt in different shaped plumes. You could feel the heat flash standing some 100 yards away from it. Like I said, "If you never go, you'll never know." |

| #7 If they're talking about the movie, then for sure it should be banned. It didn't have anything to do with the book. |

| #1 Not my cup of tea, but as my Daddy used to tell me when I got all whiney about something, 'Quit that crying, boy, or I'll give you something to cry about.' Sounds like the folks in Maine need a few real problems to concern themselves with. |
