I agree that good comes out of Chaos.. especially when in an artistic way.
BUT.. It;s sad to see the attitudes of the people who think it was OK or even COOL that this guy burned the man early. And the ones of YOU that mentioned that you have been going for years and think it was acceptable what he did, sounds like you are bored with BM now or some of you sound like you need your heads adjusted.
How about getting outside of your (been there done that), attitude.
How about a good attitude! Such as .. caring for the other people who are enjoying this tradition for the first time.. people who were told how cool it is going to be.. how then it happens at the end of BM ..A really cool TRADITION... that they burn the man on the last day ..( gosh..remember your first time?) ..
.really...some of you sound like old bored,burned out hippies that can't accept it anymore.
( hey ... maybe the early burning was meant to be.. kind of a karmic type thing for those of you who need to realize something about yourselves.maybe YOU are bored with BM now? maybe it's time to let go and not go to BM anymore ?..)
Bm is still growing..and new people hear about it every year. If it wasn't for that purpose of sharing with these new people then there would be no future for the BURNING MAN..
Maybe you didn't understand how or why any of this started in the first place. So then I am sorry for those of you because you went all this time and missed the idea ( this often happens to people who are too self absorbed ) ... and about that one guy who even feels he has to tell us all about his shit and he is too cool for us all. HE IS WHAT WE ALL CALL A KILL JOY!! well who cares what an icky guy like that thinks anyway.
My daughter is at BM for her first time. I can't wait for her stories and you know what.. next year I hope I can go for my first time and I hope there won't be any Kill Joy idiots who ruin other peoples art work
