  @ Rhymes with silver

  I think you said it all about relationships being too complicated! funny how many so called " liberals" in both urban and suburban areas seem to view things from that " sex and the city" perspective of " he said/she said" ; or even for LGBT's "she said/she said" , or " he said/he said". I've often felt that once you get far away from all the malls and retail horseshit as well as major employment centers[ overpriced , materialistic yuppie cities/suburbs]; that relationships seem to work much better.

  Maybe because Jane and John Doe, or Jane and Jane Doe, from Yreka , California; simply do not expect as much " perfection in love" from one another?

  Or is it just that once you get away from those Fifth Ave. Stores and the Sex and the city types whom shop there- there just happens to be less to get in the way of a love relationship's working out for the better even when things seem not that great?

  Sometimes I find it funny how many in my own LGBT community, like many here in Salon; seem to view the simpler, rural lifestyle in terms of " redneck" and " big fat trailer trash women"!

  As for ' Burning Man' , I had heard of this some years back while reading Relix magazine. But I just thought it was basically another " stoner fest" full of Gen Y Modern "Deadheads"; mixed with the much more common for today, "enlightened" supermale assholes with the shaved head and piercings galore and their " pretty as a princess" girlfriends whom they feel they must "defend and protect" with their muscular masculinity!
