I don't know. Depends on if your hobby is eating donuts and playing LRPGs.

Is this your stupid dance?

You have a real knack for saying things that only highlight the fact that you are nothing more than a blubbering idiot.
WTH? where does eating doughnuts and playing LRPGs (whats the "L" stand for?) come in?

i cant see your silly little picture.

Oh, it's just a picture of you. I was testing out fun stereotyping is since it seems to be a favorite hobby of yours.

it's definitely up there...fun huh?

Among stereotyping my other hobbies involve watching eating plants, standing in murky water, and getting hit by Canadians' cars

Everyone stereotypes, even the Indians do when they are not aware of it. "We embrace nature" etc. Plenty of Indians have lost their way, face it, just as some barbarians have lost their way and actually take regular showers. :shock: Yes, it is true.

They get my respect. Fuck burning man as a limited liability corporation, earning as much money as they can. This is/was their land. They can do what they want with us, for all I care. I think the org understands this. I'm gratefull to the paiutes for sharing their land via BLM. God bless federal government...fuckers
That's all good and all, but we are all worshiping dirt and pounding on Drums if we want to out there.

I give John Law & Larry a little tip-the-hat extra, but everyone else gets the same respect from me, until proven otherwise.

The only point I was making was that wearing MOOP/feather boa's and/or coats or using fake grass
as a carpet(unless it is the right "type"), is the only way to get a different level of respect from me
when we meet for the first time, no matter what your race, gender, orientation, or disorientation is.
Fair enough..but id tip my hat to cacophony society before larry or Herr Law. My point is, if I were in your house...you'd get more respect from me, than the girlfriend I brought with me. I don't care about the event as a fairness thing. I agree with other posters..if selling your ticket double price will put food on your table, go for it! If that puts us on BLM's radar...we've ALWAYS been on their radar! They actually, still, hate us. But they love our money. Id love to see, just as an experiment...how BM would work on "Government approved" paiute land...see how our money could help them. Just a thought...

My girlfriend of 4 years is half Native American, of which half is Paiute (though not Pyramid Lake tribe).

If you really understood how the Native Americans were treated by the U.S. you wouldn't raise a whisper over some locals trying to make a little money, assuming that it is even true.

Did you notice that the Native Americans always seem to live in the areas with no natural resources while the white man lived by the water? Do you think these people were stupid? The government "offered" them the land that whites felt was useless. In those few cases when the land turned out to have some value, they were moved again - agreements be damned.

How many people bought $190 tickets in bulk to sell on eBay or Craigslist for $290 the week before the burn? ("REALLY wanted to go but something came up, 4 will call tickets available") If a few Pauite profitted from the 50,000 people who raced across their land to party for a week, leave them be.

HISTORY

Post by RaineFX » Fri Sep 11, 2009 10:08 pm

But most of you just see Playa Dust??? What about the blood that stains it? The tobacco growing? The plants we use? OUr resources? We still use this area and its rich in culture and heritage!!! [u]so What if some guy try to sell you a ticket??[/u] But remember the Natives do have a say and pull in the BLM/Black rock and the surrounding area! And more and more everyday we are being recognized for our effots! My grandparents where Stuck on the REz unallowed to hunt, gather and live. The US would drop off commods, mostly old moldy bacon for the natives on our rez to eat! Took them a day or so just to get there to the drop offs..but they made it...and grew even stronger...they tried to kill us off...they where the NAZI's.....Many where made sterile from the Boarding Schools from just one generation ago...however we still survive..and carry on...I've got 4 beautiful daughters to carry on my legacy...so dont' frown the black rock or stay off....

I would have no problem calling them the piece of crap they really are.
Fuck THEM.

And if they are LOCAL and selling guest tickets for a profit they are a
Really BIG PIECE OF SHIT.

Who said anything about Nazis? German soldiers in world war 2 were not all nazis. The nazis were members of the national socialist party in germany, and there were dozens of political parties in germany....at least before hitler. Talk to any american p.o.w. who spent time in a luftwaffe camp, and you'd probably find that there were in fact good german soldiers during the war.

It was back in the mid 90's.
Washoe Co. was giving BM a hard time over permits etc.
They talked with the Tribe, BLM, Pershing Co. and they reach an agreement with BLM and Pershing Co.

And here we have been ever since.

And were paying over a half a million just to use "BLM" land. Not to mention the other costs. Id opt for giving the Tribe a shot. From what I understand, they've been fucked over from every direction. And I wouldn't put it past BLM to fuck them over, by keeping the event on "federal" land.

I was looking forward to trying an Indian taco on my way out this year. not having my corrective lenses on (broken the week before) I kept driving past a few signs that said NON taco. thinking this was a sign for an alternative type of food... not tacos mind you, I passed a few stands. Finally one of the signs had large enough letters that I read NDN tacos. then I thought perhaps this was a club affiliation, and wondered what NDN stood for. Jeepers. finally I got it ENN DEE ENN (Indian!) Yummy by the way and quite a pleasant sit down and chat while the food cooked.

It's a gig, an event, money drives through the town. People are going to take advantage of that. Having identities tied to guest tickets might eliminate profiteering. I get my tickets through direct channels and am happy with what I pay. If the price is reasonable to the buyer, then that's all that matters in this case I think.
