What is not to like about a week long orgy of decadence? It shows how much excess can be generated by capitalism. It is only possible because it is a short term event. I expect that the governments drive to control all things will kill it, or harness it in time. Remember the poor are not really permitted to be there.

Every prosperous society will indeed exhibit it's wealth in some fashion. It is in evidence as long back as we can measure, so capitalism is not the source. Ostentaceous behavior WILL occur. I just found it humorous that an anti-commoditization group could generate a funny article that focused on the economy they create with out even trying! Reminds me of the Anti Hunger Conference in Denmark a year or so ago.

Don't refer to other posters pejoratively. Don't quote those who break the rules. Thanks.

I don't usually do this... but just for my friend, Rocketwolf...
"..... If you want to go, you are welcome to stay here before, and also after if you let me hose you down outside before entering. Perhaps we can find a camper to rent and go together, although we will have to rent the camper from far away because no local rental company will rent one that week..... "
Only a portion of a message from a good friend who lives in Reno, Rocketwolf... maybe you should get out more often...

Once a year, people spend a week trying to convince themselves communism can work. But they get to return to the real world before it falls apart.

Well they do know they need to get back to work so they can come back the next year. Who doesn't love a week long party? Especially when the poor are not allowed to participate.

And clothing is optional... by the end of the week, most of them are naked... but the salt does a job on the naked body...
