"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Hippy Dippy "Burning Man" Event Has Morphed into Rich Techies Party says Gawker Media
"Mortgaging the house to go sit in a desert to share ice and coffee with some naked, scraggily-bearded performance artists riding around on DIY bikes has got to be one of the most tempting offers we've ever had to consider. But at the end of the party, after we've run out of laundered hemp loincloths and fresh cowboy hats, and listened to our KMFDM discography at least 12 times, and the symbolic man's been set on fire, we still need a place in the cold, unfeeling world in which to live, and money to pay for our smartphone and cable television. What to do."
