Burning Man, the Debauchery in the Desert, Dissolves into a Muddy Pigsty

<p>The famous Burning Man festival is currently suffering from massive rains that have turned the desert pop-up town into a pigsty of mud, garbage, high, and naked people &mdash; one death has been reported so far.</p> <blockquote> <p>There are currently &ldquo;a little over 70,000&rdquo; people stranded at the festival in northwest Nevada due to the mud and flooding, according to Pershing County Sheriff&rsquo;s Sgt. Nathan Carmichael.</p> <p>&ldquo;Some people are walking out,&rdquo; Carmichael told CNN on Sunday, but event organizers and local authorities are urging attendees to stay put until the roads are safe to travel. More rain is expected Sunday afternoon (<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/nevada-desert-burning-man-weather-rain-09-03-23/index.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Incredibly Harrowing 6-Mile Hike</a>).</p> </blockquote> <p>Regardless of how &ldquo;harrowing&rdquo; the experiences have been, no one has dared to say anything negative about &ldquo;Burning Man.&rdquo; This makes me suspicious, especially from what I know about people I have met in the past who considered themselves dedicated &ldquo;burners.&rdquo;</p> <h2>Nudity is cool</h2> <p>Don&rsquo;t get me wrong, I like nudity as much as anyone else, especially when attractive people express themselves through dance. I like music, but not the music popular at Burning Man &mdash; but that&rsquo;s not why I think the five-day event in the Nevada desert perfectly expresses the culmination of man&rsquo;s influence on this earth.</p> <p><a href="https://brian-kean.medium.com/burning-man-the-debauchery-in-the-desert-dissolves-into-a-muddy-pigsty-b3f3e21d0a3a"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
