Having seem some of the attitudes toward the poor expressed on ePlaya, as a poor person, I was outraged, and then I was banned, after I dared to talk back to some of the richer people on the board.

“But don’t worry about a thing you will be nestled in your own perfect city,an alternate world of amazement and “self”expression.Not a worry not a care and the drugs will ease your suffering just that much more.”

That comment now makes a lot more sense. If this is how burners think, then I’m wondering if I want to have much more to do with this event, at all.

How old would you have been when Burning Man started charging for tickets?

But if you want to go to a free event, backyard burns usually are free. Are you willing to invest some time in one of those? What else was Burning Man, itself, in the beginning, but an event like one of those? Are you willing to be with an event through its early years, or do you just wish to complain that you can’t get a pre-packaged experience for free, with somebody else paying to cover the expenses?

Portapotties aren’t free. Neither are the projects covered by the art grants, or the permits paid to the BLM, which probably wouldn’t be thrilled with the thought of having 50,000 potentially destructive campers parked for free in one place, and nobody being legally responsible for the mess that they might leave behind – which is the deal they’d be getting if there was no LLC running things, and no rental fee for the land on the Playa.

That rental fee runs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do you have that kind of money laying around? I surely don’t – and there are other expenses on top of that. So, if the LLC didn’t charge for tickets, how would they raise that kind of money? I’m picturing Maid Marian with a lemonade stand, and thinking, that had better be darned good lemonade, because she’s probably going to have to sell at it about a thousand dollars per glass, at that rate – and San Francisco really doesn’t have a lot of hot days. A bake sale, then, but the police would probably get interested when the brownies came out, so, no, that wouldn’t work …

See the problem?

I mean, another personal attack, following the last one that I just replied to?
