Wow..this is not a good representation of the people I met at BM last year. Yes I attended with a low income ticket and YES I brought my son. I’m quite sure this “mother of 6″ is some bored, lonely person at home who gets their rocks off being someone else because who they really are is just as terrible as the person they are pretending to be. And to the person who “respects” people who put up solar power panels in 3rd world countries but would not respect a mother.,,what about your own mother?? You obviously have no idea the work that it actually takes to be a good mother….children are the ones who are going to inherit this world after us..and if we were ALL running around..NOT procreating,…we’d be putting solar panels up for NOTHING. I see why others would choose not to have children..but I can’t imagine my life without my son. We can coexsit respectfully without agreeing all the time! Spend more time also thinking of ways to invest in the people you are leaving this Earth you are so called trying to save. And BTW..I am a single mother..and you know what I do all day?? If I’m not raising my wonderful son…or going to graduate school I’m saving lives as a Registered Nurse….so respect that. I’m not only saving lives..and saving the world..but I brought a human life onto this Earth who will continue my work and tend to this Earth I leave him. He learned some of his greatest life lessons on our first ever burn last year. We volunteered together…we handed out grilled cheese to strangers..handed out water. It was wonderful and an experience I hope to have again this year. It’s great to have a cause but please do not try to put anyone else’s life down becuase you don’t agree with it. BRC welcomes everybody..even if we don’t agree…I hope some of the comments on this thread doesn’t scare anyone away or make some feel like they are not included. I saved my money….because it does take a lot to prepare for it the first time if your not with a big camp or with others. Me and my son did it alone:) But with a little help from Burning Man everyone can have a chance to experience what it’s like to “Come Home”..hope to see you all out on the playa:) Much love…..

What is this? A rethuglican gathering? You would think so, based on the ridiculous commentary posted here..

And how do you know that there’s no tax break for this group for making this offer?

Turn of Faux news, and regenerate brain cell matter..

Not a good representation of the people who attend burning man.. I am trying to go as a first timer. I am a student in college studying chemical engineering. I moved to New York from California and am surviving on my own to make a living for myself. As hard as I work I know that we all deserve once in a life time experiences like this. I really hope that my experience at burning man in the future has nothing to do with people who act like this post.. Not all of you though but just the ones who are bringing ill vibes.. keep burning man positive.

There may have been some good and bad points made here. I believe we need a definition of a person who is low income, an artist, a teacher, a firefighter, philanthropist, a fastfood worker. A person who gets up everyday to do a low wage “dirty job”! An idiot who needs the government “help” to stop her from having kids seems to me to be the anthisis of everything Burning Man is about. Responsibility is a major tenant here, as is respect for yourself and your fellow man. Weaklessly having kids and not caring for them …. You get my point. With that said I would give a dollar to help this woman go to school to learn how to be a parent.

Despite all of the snarkiness on this thread I just want to say thank you to burningman for providing a way for those to go who have had a hard time finding work. I am one of those people who keeps trying despite all of the rejection. The first year I was able to pay for a regular ticket but last year one of my clients screwed me out of many weeks of work and the only bit of good news I got was that I was awarded a LIT.

Thank you BM for having a heart.

Jonty

Dr. Dust. If I bring any rude 12year-old-boys who have lost their sense of humor to burning-man I’ll make sure to bring them over to hang with ya’. I’m sure you guys will have a great time complaining about others. Standfrog – I don’t think you are a troll, I think you are funny. This thread makes me less excited about the burn. Dr. Dust you make me less excited about life.
