First of all, if anyone is wrong for children being at Burning Man, it's the parents. And since the pink folks are not parents, they do not have responsibility for the children there.....not any more than you are responsible if I allow my child a computer in his room and he finds your sites. My kids-my job to protect them and make what I deem appropriate decisions for them. If my parenting style is less sheltering and more discussion, Burning Man would be exactly the place I would take my kids, which is my second point.
Your logic is giving me a headache, because it is emotional and not logical at all. Why are you so angry? I can't help but have the feeling this is misdirected anger. You can't crucify all people who attend BM for the actions of a few any more then the gov't can say we are all CP peddlers because a few whackjobs do it.
I have a lot more swirling around in my head, but I really think that it will be a waste of my energy to type it all out. You seem to be one of those types that only sees his or her own perspective, and never believes they are wrong or made a mistake, no matter how much evidence of that is presented.
All I want to suggest to you is this...
Once they believed the world was flat. It made perfect sense to them. They were as adament about that as you are being now. But, guess what? They were wrong. As I hesitate to say I am right, because I am certainly not immune to the mistake bug, you must admit the possibility that you are wrong, too. Or you just look like a nutjob zealot and no one will listen to your message. If your message is important to you, you owe it to yourself to listen and entertain other perceptions, opinions, and ideas, and broaden your mind. Only then will people respect your own perspective, and possibly listen to what you are saying.
