I thought You all might like it. Seems if nothing else we are now asking questions, immigrants come here from all directions, a melting pot for culture old yet not wise, combined and marketed for mass consumption, our real freedoms evaporating before our eyes. What do we do to stop the swift flow, our economy breaking off like chunks of melting snow, trickling into a stream of corrupt international currents, flooding out true culture and small time merchants. Perhaps we are called to awaken Apathanias heart, of which burning man is surely a part. What if instead we bring the burn home, exciting the minds of those who were once drones, Create what we would like to see, rather than mope and grumpily acede, to a really bad dream that needs to change now, in our hearts and our minds we all know how, things would be if we had our druthers, lets drop off the training wheels and remember it is we who govern.
