Art imitating life? The imagery from that 2-Pac video is straight out of Burning Man ... via Mad Max, of course.

Maybe you do know, but in case you don't, here are a few videos I shot out at Burning Man this year.

This is a party in a big dome. (All sound recorded with my point-and-shoot camera.)

Same party. Note the hot girl scaling the dome itself.

This is the main gathering the night they burn the "Man". Note all the art cars. Probably 30K-40K people in a huge ring encircling the Man.

A very large dance scene under the open sky. One of the loudest sound systems I've ever heard. Maybe 4 or 5 thousand people dancing here. Crystal Method was playing. You can see them up in the DJ booth in the wall.

EDIT: In fairness, this this takes place in NV, not CA, but it is populated mostly by CA freaks. <g>

aahhh but...

wealth redistribution has been from the middle class to the super-rich (see saez)). other than arnold, there are few (none?) super-rich public employees. but, of course, we are well aware of gates, buffet, walton, etc.--the true thieves.
