i personally believe in individual freedom, where everyone has equal access to every natural resource and basic needs and hence i'm a strong supporter of hippie community, sometimes i hope y not there be many communities like that where ppl have their personal freedom to the fullest with no INHIBITIONS and RULES FORCIBLY IMPOSED, but HIPPIES didnt stand the test of time, do u ppl think that such communites cant exist in this world successfully?

Of course, everyone has their own definition of what the hippies were, but the folks upstairs are right, the free-est of the free spirits were not economically viable, and certain other activities brought about their downfall as well. But we would all be better off today if they HAD succeeded, since we're looking at so many end-of-world scenarios brought on by burning fossil fuels, greed, and war - all things the hippies opposed in principle.

The need for interactions with those external to a community are the downfall of many communes - hippie and otherwise. Few communes in first world societies are truly self-sufficient and the need for money or the ability to enter into binding contracts make a communal lifestyle harder to maintain.

The first thing that needs to be addressed is that the Hippies gave up. Communities like these can not be successful because sooner or later there message is going to be tainted with inaccuracies and bi-est. A good example of this is Greenpeace which was at one point a great organization but soon led to political rather than enviromental issues. By this I mean that they no longer trust information that contradicts theres because of its source, which leads them to ***** out there outdated useless information. (Good examples are nuclear power and engineered produce).

I would like to be a hippy, but besides being a generation too late, who's gonna support my life style, roof over my head, feed the kids, pay the bills,, hippy life style was the sixties, free love and all that shite, youth, they grew up, got employ/mortgages. those so called hippies in India, their wannabe hippies. they grow up, become ''normal''. its not a culture, but a freedom of expression, which is not reality. there is no such word or person as hippy, just a terminology... ...terminological inexactitude...

Def agree with you (and everyone else) about not liking her but... we're not supposed to like her! We're in on the fact that she's only using Jack and even if Jack sort of deserves to get what's coming to him in some way, we can't help but have some sympathy for him and therefore dislike her. She's obviously just Victor's pawn and is certainly evil and cunning like you say... Hopefully this storyline will start to resolve soon, though... its starting to drag.
