Back in the early '80s when I was heavily into the punk/goth scene there was nothing I disliked more than hippies. Now that I'm hitting 40 and read extensively about the environment, buy only organically grown foods, refuse plastic bags from retailers, ride my bike to work, recycle EVERYTHING, etc, I have to admit that ideologically the hippies had it right. (Oh s@#t, am I one of them now?!!!!)
Aesthetically I'd still prefer a pink mohawk over dreads any day.
ps- there were plenty of drugs in the punk scene too. We bought it from the hippies, then made fun of them

Hey if I spent all my money on acid I would eat leafs too. Good job hippies you have change America by drug use. Next time our country needs a breakthrough we should all just buy a bunch of heroin and shoot up. This should solve our problems.

Wow, that is a masterful summation of the article! Good job, your reading skills are astounding.
I found the article entertaining even if I didn't agree with everything it said.
Actually what I got the most out of was the embedded link in the article for another article about efficient CFL light bulbs for your home. I've already switched out the incandescents in my home with these. I would suggest that anyone who chooses to consume more electricity by keeping a marine aquarium should do what they can to conserve this resource. The easiest way is with CFL bulbs replacing incandescents.
Does that make me a Hippie?
And the irony is, I've never owned a tie-dyed piece of clothing, HA!

Hate usually comes from fear. . . and some have good reason to fear hippies (especially if Jesus DOES look like the paintings I have seen - he is the archtypical hippie - no job, hangs out doing good deeds and rapping with his buddies, pi**ing off the Man).
All their money spent on acid . . . @ $2.00 / dose, that is either a lot of trips, or verrrrry little money.
ANd the beatnicks were thus name because they tended to beat anyone named Nick.
It would seem that those who are defaming the hippies took those critical thinking classes in college only to find the most efficent usage of the straw-man fallacy, amongst others.
Drug use is bad . . . ask Rush (I mean non-perscription drugs). Then again, if it comes from a drug maker traded on the Dow or NASDAQ, take as much as you want! And tell me again how a neck tie is less ridiculous than tie-dyed.
Let's face it, the hippies had some good answers, just not enough to keep their movement moving in the right direction.

I havent even read the article yet.... But I really hate the way hippie and drugs meld together with alot of you so quickly.
Maybe thats what started it, couldent say, Im to young. But Im a full blown hippie. had my dreadlocks, lived in a jeep for years traveling all over the country watching the dead, phish, spawns of the grateful dead... Nowdays it isent so easy, but I go to music festivals almost every weekend... only place left for hippies...
But ANYWAYS.... Its the music. Its the love. Its the good vibes.
Ill go read the acticle now...

That article was dead on. To keep it simple for all of the people who are having trouble with english, the general (but somewhat incorrect) definition of a parasite is an organism that exploits its host, sometimes until the host dies. If anyone out there actually believes that humans are not destroying the planet (i.e., are parasites), I would argue that you: a) have not been out of your own state; b) get all of your news (if any) from Fox; and/or c) have 3 or more children and drive an SUV (or maybe a truck with a confederate flag in the window).
Humans need to start doing some fancy footwork or we are going to be up a creek without a paddle. Fossil fuels aren't going to save us. It's lucky for you rednecks that we HAVE hippies, someone needs to ensure that there is a planet left for your minions of offspring to try to ruin.

I sure hope I'm not in the 10% of the population that gets to live after the "correction"! Don't want to be responsible for displacing more deserving life forms!

That article was a bit of a bore if you ask me. Hippies aren't crusaders, or well, they wouldn't be hippies. And why did hippies do green things? Accidentally. At the time, "green" things were cost effective. Now "green" is a multi-billion dollar industry as much full of lies as the petroleum industry and our own sacred anti-Constitutional government.
Ever try some Celestial Seasonings? That is a major corporation that rose from a commune of hippies. Now they are all Phat Cats. One of the guys in my town that owns a store was a real hippie. Lived in a VW bus for years, traveled the country hand-to-mouth, and now he owns a high-end jewelry store in which he applies the jewelry making skills he honed as a hippie. Who are his clients? Don't get in line unless you ARE a Phat Cat!
