Watching this silly 60's acid flick "Psych-Out" starring a young beponytailed Jack Nicholson and some other people you've never heard of.
I don't think I would have done very well in this era......
For instance, I prefer war. Keeding! But seriously, like the "fuzz" say in the movie, and I paraphrase, "when are these kids gonna stop fooling around and get a job?" I couldn't help but agree.
Flip-flops have been terrorizing eyes since 1968:
Hippiness is against everything I believe in like showering, socks, shaving, personal space, accomplishing things.........
Put your hands down and go contribute to society!

But you can't expect a counterculture to contribute to the system it revolves against, can you? Although it does inevitably contribute to it eventually. I share your conservative views, but i am afraid they come with age and the frustration of having had to fit in.
revolts.
wretzky- I'm not that conservative yet...I just don't have time for annoying people. People should want to grow up at some point...
I think the hippy message was lost because they were considered flaky and lazy by the general population.
Only THEY thought they were doing something.
1. hippies suck. grungers sucked. and now it's "hipsters" *barf* i can't even type the word without cringing. im not adverse to just hitting these people. im that perfect asshole that would find the biggest kurt cobain wannabe that was on the verge of suicide in my high school and pick on him and kick him in the ass while he walked down the hallway.
2. re: canadian tuxedo - did ontario ever have those chain mall stores called "Randy River." full jean ensembles and storm riderz were their bread and butter. its my candidate for biggest ham n' egger store of all time, after american apparell that is. Did you get Bopperz or Mariposa in Toronto? Two mall chains catering to the tween debbie gibson set. scrunchies and chunky plastic bracelets.
3. what is the thinking blogger award? how did you win? when i start thinking maybe you can nominate me.

You have said in the past that you are "Less than 1% hippy". I think you may be more hippy than you think.
You reuse, repurpose and occasionally make your own clothes.
If I'm not mistaken, you do not own a car and get around on an ancient bicycle.
You use buses for long distance transportation.
You have at least one friend who is a committed vegetarian.
I believe these facts proove you are at least 10% hippy.
bdgbill- Tough customer!
hmmmmm. I DO wear a lot of vintage clothing...I have a vintage store though. I love my American Apparel and H&M........
I just so happen to drive a car, however. It is not MINE exactly but I do need it for my business.
I'm really not into excess or possessions but I enjoy a fairly luxurious life on a meager budget somehow.
I AM 15% more mystical than I was a year ago...
Still, the idea of a commune gives me chills. They should really invent a hippy litmus test so my true level of hypocrisy may be revealed!
this post made me laugh, although i'm about 95% sure you were serious ;)
shay- We did have Randy River in Ontario...I think it might still exist.
Thinking Blogger was bestowed upon me at some point. Pressure! I was hoping to cruise by with braindead blogger technique.
I hate to be that dude, but it's 'hippie' not 'hippy'
Also: I know for a fact that The Iron Chic is very good friends with someone who had dreadlocks for a long period. So she's like at least 12% hippie.
