RE: OP/ED Death at Burning Man 2017: Do We Mourn Stupidity?
I agree. The Burning of the Man is supposed to be the conclusion of festival celebrating radical expression. The burning of the Temple (I still call it the Mausoleum) is done as a catharsis for those who are mourning deaths of the previous months. It's appalling that such a disrespect of ones own life would be so carelessly squandered out of frivolity.
True, I was wondering whatever happened to the principle of 'civic responsibility'?
Whatever happen to the principle of 'Not being a dumbass and running into a damn fire when you're not a firefighter, a child's life is not in danger and there is no Rembrandt to be saved?'
Uhmph, yeah! I do not know either what happened to that particular principle.
