&gt;“It’s all about balance. We are the ones meant to be the air, not the earth,” Piorkowski said. “So you have this group who can travel. The purpose can never be to enable everyone to travel because that would create imbalance.”<p>That&#x27;s a very conservative argument for a man getting high in the desert.

Feels... icky to me. Decadent. And Burning Man ain&#x27;t exactly Mayberry, to be sure.

Based on what I read in the media (which means it&#x27;s probably completely wrong) burning man seems like the most self-absorbed people doing self-absorbed things.<p>The photos in this article reinforce that impression.<p>So gross.
