I particularly enjoy the parallel between the actions of the lamp lighters and civic duties of a city...be them symbolic or necessary. I feel that each person/camp being responsible for their own trash within the city is something that definitely should be carried from Black Rock City into the real city/world is very enlightening...self reliance, definitely. Culture values should be rethought throughout the globe. "icy pandemonium of extraneous wills"...is a good cry for the wake up call needed in all of society. BRING IN THE ARTISTS...definitely.
