On Sunday our friends had a Labor Day Weekend BBQ at their home in San Francisco. They invited a special guest, Paul Addis, the man who has been accused of setting fire to Burning Man on Tuesday.
I also offered Paul the chance to say something on video. Up until now, he has only spoken about the “incident” in print and on the radio. I did not ask any questions, I just turned the camera on and let Paul speak his mind. In the video, Paul talks about what he wants to do with the last 30 seconds of his 15 minutes of fame.
You're going to tell me that Paul endangered lives to save lives? Sounds like revisionist history to me. There's nothing noble about his self-serving actions and rant -- one outlaw pointing his finger at another outlaw. I guess a judge will decide. Better yet, maybe he should plead insanity. No reason to be accountable for one's actions, eh?
no lives were endangered by Paul Addis. certainly no more than by many other actions at Burning Man, including the official burning of the man. The act was not self-serving, but community serving. It was a humorous appeal to let go, and to remember the purpose of Burning Man, which goes much deeper than a symbol. Many believe this is a badly needed message.
Let's burn the man next year at the Nevada Test Ste to end war forever!
