There already is a thread addressing this.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Interesting---I didn't see age anywhere in the census.

There appears to be some from each age group represented at Burning Man. Much like any other city you may have visited in your lifetime. Everything from little kids to old farts!

I'd bet that the demographic is skewed more toward the older than you might expect. (Based on many of the replies on some of the other threads)

I think there's too much politics on the playa already. Who cares whether you're demographic or republican? We're all burners.
