Same thing happened in the '80's when 'hippies' became stock brokers. All that peace love and community when to pot (and coke too) when they stopped living in their parent's basement and became tax payers.

It should be no surprise that this communal gathering of people eschewing money for the barter system has gone down the same path. I don't think the air conditioned travel trailers and gas powered generators that have been in attendance for the past few years were what the originators had in mind. However, now that there's a 'franchise' name - their philosophy has 'evolved'.

There are many ex-liberals who became conservative when their entitlement fulcrum causes them to be on the wrong side of benefiting them personally.

On the other hand there ought to be some expectation of privacy. So if I was there would I really want strangers taking pictures of me and posting them everywhere? Hell no, that's why dungeons prohibit cameras and cell phones in playing areas, to protect people's privacy.
