It would be great if the Democrats and Republicans would merge into the Authoritarian Party, then the two-party system would really represent a choice, and Libertarians wouldn't have to associate with the GOP just to be more electable. Of course it'll never happen, the two parties view each other as being So Different when in fact there is much more in common.
Found out a good place in the Bay area to get a Burning Man ticket is Sports Basement. They have only $320 tickets, but you get it on the spot and you don't have to deal with the mad online ticket frenzy. Of course they sold out some days ago, but my friend KathyKat had a lead on someone with an extra, and today I went to San Jose and bought it, at cost! So it looks like I'll be there after all. I'd better be on top of it next year, though.
