Hippies died in 1967...it wuz in the papers...they
even had a funeral procession.
I resemble pretty much everything you mentioned
(except the toad lickin' yuck!)...
I'm tryin' to figure out what the point is???
The hippies (I prefer diggers) were a part of our
American history...they (we) STILL influence our art,
literature, fashions, conversations, etc.
If we could ban specific parts of our history, I think
I could find better ones to try to ban...maybe
slavery, or perhaps the type of corporate greed
evidenced by the Enron scandal (and Pres Bush, to whom
the Enron folks contributed to heavily)...
Now, what exactly wuz da point again?
