Every Labor Day weekend about 70,000 people gather in the Nevada desert to act like a bunch of stupid hippies. The event, called Burning Man, is set up on property owned by the U.S. government and under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
This year the BLM is demanding VIP accommodations be set up for its people and select visitors that is to include “flushing toilets to be cleaned daily by Burning Man staff, a laundry with washers and dryers, on-demand hot water, air conditioning, vanity mirrors, refrigerators and couches.”
The estimated cost to the non-profit Burning Man Project will run somewhere between $1 to $5 million -which will have to come out of the tickets sold to the hippies that attend the event.
The organizers are complaining about these demands for luxury and they have a big name political ally in their corner, Harry Reid (NV-D).
There’s a lesson here about the nature of Big Government if the hippies would just put the bong down for a second.
Well, la-de-frickin’-dah! Do they want catered gourmet food and limo service, too? And why do the BLM people want to hang out with a bunch of hippies, anyway? Don’t they have some land to manage besides this parcel? Let ’em get their own festival. Maybe Hillary will give them some records to burn while they’re there.
Surely the BM has some travel trailers in their inventory of equipment; drag them up there and live like everyone else.
I’d have to say the the BLM is one of the most gooned up of all of the Federal bureaucracies. I don’t think that most of these little docked nazis would hesitate for a moment opening up on us.
If Burning Man Inc. wants to graze and shear its sheep on federal land, they have to pay just like Cliven Bundy. Or they can ignore the bureaucrats and deal with the Humvees, snipers and black helicopters. Sucks, don’t it, hippies?
I’ve never been to Burning Man nor would I ever go. However, I’ve been to Reno when the event was over and what they’ve left in the parking lot of the hotel/casino makes Occupy Wallstreet participants look like litterbug control freaks. They leave behind bags of garbage in the parking lot. They stay at the hotel/casino when the event is over in the desert, and the first thing they do is jump in the pool to get the sand out between their toes and butt–teeth too! When they are done, the bottom of the pool has an inch thick layer of sand at the bottom. You don’t dare sit in the hot tub when they are around, the foam turns a dark brown – utterly disgusting. Heading over Donner Pass it’s not usual to see their filthy rigs broke down on the side of the road. How they even made it to Burning Man is a wonder to me. I’m pretty sure when the tow truck showed up that the RV was in pieces by the time they got it to the repair shop. That is if a repair thought it was worth fixing – I have my doubts. So, I’m all for sticking it to these filthy pigs. I’ve seen it and no thank you. I’m staying home or go to the ocean!
Irony always seems to escape the leftys. Call it Karma and they might get it, but I doubt it.
All the more reason to wonder why
the BLM people want to participate. Maybe it’s all the free love from the Hippie chicks. Or the drugs.
Let them stay in the FEMA trailers.
Invite them to Fuck Off and stay away.
Symbology on that. Daniel 3. The burning guys are the ones that have and will present themselves a living
sacrifice for the Truth. All that event is is a desensitization for that which is to come. : )
That was my thought, too.
