This perspective should sound familiar here:
"But if you're really bitter and shortsighted, you could say the entire hippie movement overall was just incredibly overrated, gets far too much cultural credit for far too little actual impact, was pretty much a giant excuse to slack off and enjoy dirty lazy responsibility-free sex romps and do a ton of drugs and avoid Vietnam and not bathe for a month and name your child Sunflower or Shiva Moon or Chakra Lennon Sapphire Bumblebee. This is what's called the reactionary simpleton's view. It blithely ignores history, perspective, the evolution of culture as a whole. You know, just like America."
Or to put it in bitter-shortsighted-reactionary-simpleton-speak:
Hippies suck!

"This is what's called the reactionary simpleton's view. It blithely ignores history, perspective, the evolution of culture as a whole. You know, just like America."
This last line is exactly why I have since shorn my locks and have gladly rejected hippiedom forever. Mind you I did smoke a joint with Wavy Gravy back in the day,and I did tour with the Dead in the early 80's-Jerry's death in 95. I saw the Grateful Dead well over 100 times,so I truly have been there done that. However,that line is just so fucking typical of the way people from that side of the tracks look at America. The USA sucks. Always has. Always will. Gee,and the leftards get so gawtdamned uppity when conservatives refer to them as the "Blame America First Crowd." Well BJ you have just posted exhibit A. They do. They always have. They always will.
Humans do not cause global warming!!
Cow farts do!

Red and white, blue suede shoes, i'm uncle sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, i'm still alive, ain't no luck, i learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
I'm uncle sam, that's who i am; been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of p.t. barnum and charlie chan.
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. can you use them ol' u.s. blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.
Back to back chicken shack. son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose?
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my. |

The Stooges, Dolls and Ramones are the basis of every single band that even remotely or full on, were inspired by "punk". |

Even the smarter hippies realized it was a no-go proposition to remain static. The movement died 40 years ago & some morons still lament it? Grow the fuck up BJ! |

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? |

Lament? Did we read the same article? What I read was not lamentation but triumph: We were right all along. This was not an elegy for tie-dyed bus-dwellers, but an inventory of the many ways in which hippie values are now mainstream. Did you actually read the article?

Better to inspect the bridge for cracks and faults than to blindly believe it never needs repair.
Unfortunately too many Americans believe there is nothing wrong whatsoever with the USA way and don't you dare think or speak it. "The Keep Shopping Crowd."
That Reaganesque "optimism" will lead the country to a blind and decadent decay.
