He claimed he was doing no wrong, and anyone close enough to the lower field to be awakened by the bullhorn was just asking for it to begin with. *That* didn't sit well, and prompted the idea of the "radical self-expression" I came up with.

Well, the excuse given afterwards for waking up parts of the camp that were supposed to be "quiet" was "radical self-expression." I later came up with a way of radically expressing myself regarding the bullhorn. Seize the bullhorn, drop trou, and shower it. And I made it clear that if I'm ever pregnant and awakened by a bullhorn at an ungodly hour ever again, I *will* do that. Julia I figured that was pretty radical, anyway ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

I think there were only two collateral casualties (a cell phone and a pocket TV), both of which belonged to the offender. And no-one else DID work out what happened.

Or a brain. That was the general reaction of the part of the Burning Man community that I'm in touch with at the time it first came out. Now, when I'm spending time at a similar event, I see some stuff that I'm not comfortable with (more of it having to do with drug use because "hey, I use drugs when I come to this thing, but not the rest of the time" isn't enough of an excuse IMO), but I know it's there, I know how to avoid some of it, and there's enough positive stuff I get out of the whole thing that I can ignore the negative stuff, unless it's someone acting like a total @#$% with a bullhorn at 5:30 AM. :) My reaction to such behavior was to inform the offender sweetly that if he uses that bullhorn one more time while people (like me) are trying to sleep, he will suddenly find it in such a location that he will have to eat beans to get any sound out of it in the future . . .
