ABOVE: The "Cremation of Care" Ritual. Yes folks, here they are –
America's corporate leaders, dressed in robes, burning their collective
conscience at the feet of a statue of a 40-foot owl. Pretty weird. Or is it?
The Cremation of Care ritual is over one hundred years old and is always
the first order of business when these men of industry, government, and
military gather each July.
At sundown on the first Saturday of their encampment they enact a
bizarre short scripted play (always the same) in which they burn an
effigy of "Dull Care" at the bottom of a forty-foot stone owl.
Their rationale is that they carry the cares of the world around on
their shoulders and they need a symbolic ritual in order to put it down
and enjoy their holiday.
