My wife and I are in our early and enjoyed the 1960's. She was a little hippy then and she has gotten a little more hippy today.
We were liberal then and are still liberal today. We are not inconsistent about personal freedom. We think you should be able to carry a gun if you want and not carry a baby if you don't want.
It floats our boat to help others and we think that by helping others it raises the boats of our "more perfect union".
We used to smoke a little grass but it made us sick, now we mow a lot of grass and that makes us sick.
We used to have narrow wastes and broad minds, now we have broad wastes and narrowing minds.
Finally, hippies were a lot of fun but didn't put much money in the collection plates of churches. That's why they were persecuted to near extinction. TAX THE CHURCHES and give to the poor and needy.
And as for Mr. DickM, stay away from me and you can keep your perverse opinion intact.

The only good thing that I can say about hippies is that I hope they all finally grew up and now realize that although flowers and naked dances are all fine and dandy, they don't pay the bills.
If you are referring to people of this day and age, rather than the 60's...these idiots are not hippies...they're just idiots.

They believe in equality, sharing, living off the grid alternative fuel. They struggle to bring "Power to the people." right on! and save the planet.
They are fabulous, underrated dancers. The girls look sexy with skirts and blouses made of thin material with cool colors and patterns. I like their ankle bracelets. They produce and sell alot of hand made quality crafts.
They light up their world with bright colors, the smell of incense and balloons. The music draws you into a dark, cosmic current and the melting lights encircle you until you merge into the sound itself. Until you wake up the next morning on some strangers couch and say" What the hel-l just happened!"

Your bumper will never fall off because it's held on by stickers going back to the Reagan administration, from classics like "Hug a tree" to "My Karma ran over my dogma" and the ever-present "Love" w/ a heart or peace sign for the o.

They're hip!
Honestly, though-I think they were the best generation! If only drugs hadn't come into play and Vietnam hadn't happened....
They are friends of the earth (maybe a little too friendly) and that is good!

They have great taste in music, I assume they're against Bush's war (most of them anyway) and they know how to be creative and have fun. Aren't Ben and Jerry hippies? 'Nuff said.

The men aren't afraid of their inner feminitity.
And the time women spend much less time putting on makeup.The rising prices of meats is never an issue.
