1. You think this will be the new "pirates?"

I admit it has potential, but I'm skeptical.

2. I could see it taking off, except that I posted it

and I've never really had anything take off into a memorable discussion, much less a classic DU flamewar.

3. I can see the NAs' viewpoint

if the Burning man folks are co-opting their story and imagery as for this fundraiser, that's just stupid.

edit: And these kids needed to be called out on it. The fact that they missed the opportunity to respond earlier in the process when the flyers were circulated and the tribes objected, just adds credence to the tribes' argument.

6. I can see both sides.

but then I'm a wishy washy liberal:rofl:

I don't even know where to jump into that thread now. I spent an hour or so reading all the comments in the article and found the best irony to be the calls for the non-Indians to embrace their own race/history/religion. Isn't that what white supremacists promote too?
