		<description><![CDATA[I also overheard somebody say, "I only ride a bike for a week once a year." Perhaps this is why so many BRC cyclists ride like unilluminated maniacs and are completely discourteous to other bicyclists, not to mention foot traffic.

		<description><![CDATA[This brief rundown of common misconceptions on Burning Man is both spot on and seems slightly misguided in its intent to inform the uninformed: 

<a href="http://enewschannels.com/2007/06/25/enc1501_181043.php">Burning Man: Fact &#038; Fiction</a> by Scott G

Sure, I've had to "answer" to family and friends about many of these fallacies. So, in this sense, I find setting the record straight useful for those who ask. The document can help clear up some facts, I suppose.

On the other hand, the existence of document points to a sort of rift between mainstream and fringe aspects of our culture that I'm not sure is worth bridging. Can the burn really be adequately explained to those outside of it and should it be at risk of detracting from the experience in the process? There <em>is</em> an anarchist element to the event that can only be killed and propped up nicely, like an insect on display, by trying to name and explain it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part 4 of the Burning Man Movement Series addresses the pespective of traditional religion on Burning Man.

To shorten this rather broad subject, I'll focus down to two subjects:

	<li style="padding-bottom:10px;">One misguided person's ridiculously paranoid rant about Burning Man 2000 and the "Helco" installation as the portal from which Satan's actual "hoardes" have arrived: <strong><a href='http://www.worthynews.com/news-features/burning-man.html' title='The Burning Man' target="_blank">The Burning Man</a>, by Thomas Horn</strong></li>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The SFGate ran this article in 2005 which looks largely at the notion of enclaves or regional burns as an evolution of Burning Man and as a logical extension of its community and DIY creativity ideals:

<a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/05/29/MNBURNMAN29.TMP" target="_blank">Out to change the world / BURNING MAN AT 20: Burners take creative approach to building sense of community</a>

With attendance topping 40,000, it's hard not to see Burning Man <em>needing</em> to evolve into something else and perhaps smaller in scope, more manageable. Moreover, once a year is just not enough to keep the fun alive!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year, the Burning Man Organization announces a theme meant to inform and inspire the art for each year. Anxiously awaited every January, when it is finally put forth, it sets in motion a fount of creative energy and activity. The theme of Burning Man in 2006 was Hope and Fear: The Future. It was in my opinion one of the most provocative themes of recent years, We stand at an incredible tilting point in history and very before could these possibilities tilt one way of the other so drastically.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've heard from a few random folks in this default world talk about how wonderful and surpassing the Burn was this year. As a Burngin I can't help but heartily agree! ;-}

To this end, a chap named Jim Mason wrote up his view as to why. While not gushing exactly, it welcomes a certain sense of the magical and amazing I think (I hope) we all felt this year.]]></description>
