That's Okay, You Can Have My Spot

You know, I wasn't aware that they sell tickets to the Burning Man festival, that thing in the desert where people gather to get naked and make art and burn a big effigy and be all hippie-like. But they do, and because of the popularity of the event, they put in a new lottery system to sell the tickets. The result, organizers fear, is that a lot of the tickets will go to scalpers and newbies, and the people who have been going since the beginning may lose out. But wait a minute -- this is happening in the most desolate part of the desert. There's plenty of room. It's supposed to be democratic and open for everyone. So... why not just expand and sell more tickets? (New York Times)
