I Will Admit to Being a Freak
From Huff-Po:
You don't get it. You don't get what it's like to have 50,000 people circle around a wooden effigy, with 1000 people spinning fire and 500 more playing drums, all encircled by 200 art cars -- and then all roaring in unison as the effigy is set afire. You might think you get it, and it may scare or tempt or delight you, but I assure you, you don't get it.
You're right, Dude. I don't get it. I don't get it because I get up every morning, look in the mirror and say "Today, I follow my rules. These rules are subject to change without notice and without vote. Everyone else can cope."
That is personal freedom on a grand scale, and I don't get driving out to the desert to get a synthetic version of it for a few days out of the year.
BTW: This is an issue with the tone of the article and not with Burning Man.
ETA: Jesus. I can't spell.
