This week tens of thousands are making the trek across the United States, and from around the world, to be a part of Burning Man. While participants are generally ecstatic about their week-long experience, some segments of society are filled with dread. Recent efforts at making Nevada City a companion city for Burning Man, for example, were met with strong opposition from city leaders out of fear that “the city’s image and business projects would be tainted,” and of course religious groups, including conservative evangelicals, have had their issues as well.
