This week the Viking Youth Power Hour is joined by water department spokesman, and architect of Burning Man Information Radio's on-line presence, Tom LaPorte.
Tom recently made a trip down to Pearlington, Mississippi where he spent a week with the victims of Hurricane Katrina and a group of Burning Man participants who, after the burn this year, picked up and moved their playa-based operation to Pearlington in order to help provide food, fire, demolition services and the unique burner sense of community service and dedication to work. Calling themselves Burners Without Borders, this group has dedicated the better part of the last 8 months to sharing the skills they have honed on the playa with the people of first Biloxi - rebuilding a Buddhist Temple - and now Pearlington.
We discuss the heartbreaking loss Tom witnessed while he was down there, but also the inspiring perspectives of people who were forced to rebuild their lives from amongst the rubble of what was once their beloved town.
We are offered a rare opportunity as Tom gives us the first chance to hear some of the interviews he collected while in Pearlington and that he will be using for his hour long radio documentary which will be published at burningman.com later this month.
It's incredible to see the ethos' and the elbow grease so many of us experience on the playa validating itself and coalescing in a kind of service that may become increasingly necessary in the coming years. This is perhaps the Viking Youth episode I am most proud of all our work to date. Our hearts and our hope go out to all the victim's of Hurricane Katrina and all the wonderful people helping these people to put their lives together again stronger than it was before.

Why not come up with your own game.Say you've landed on Mars and Jesus has reappeared.
Get in the real world man.It's not about conning people.

Great work Sire-12 and burners without borders.
How would you like to put up a wind generator field next?

Listen CM.This is the way I've got it figured.

First juan has to be cognisant that Quanum theory is based on the fact that the Universe expands and contracts.
We have just recently reached the apex-or will soon do so.This event creates certain 'pecularities" when compared to preapex.Almost a reverse image but not quite.

Anyway CM,WMB would be a rock solid investment today.Take 20 % of what we will get for our little book and subsequent movie and put it in WMB please today CM.Remember Quanah theory.
We'll settle up later.

brad pitt is in new orleans at least building on stilts. projected sea level rise (warming and loss of wetlands continuing without abatement today) will take out anything on ground level within 50 years. yes the human spirit is a marvel, but how stupid are we?
