They think they are 'lovely to look at', lol.
Old hippies never die-they just wind up looking like smellier versions of your grandparents.
I had to put on my dark shades!
Lol, who knows, they may be super clean and just reliving the days of their youth - silly as they look!!

"My perspective of these sorts is that these are the people who will complain that the rich and well-to-do do not serve in Iraq but likely took measures to evade the draft during Vietnam because they were lucky enough to be in college."
I'm stealing that quote from you. :-)
And there is no such thing as an anti-war protester. There are only people that believe we are fighting for the wrong side. Most of those so-called "anti-war" protesters in the 60s would have cheered if we were aiding the Communists.
I would like to personally thank these scum for helping to popularize drugs, loveless sex, a distaste for tradition, a hatred of the American culture, and a constant whining drumbeat of senseless complaining which exagerrates discomfort to the level of crisis.
When these guys were tripping out on acid in 1967, I was 11 years old, just on the cusp of understanding society, and these guys hijacked my youth with the promise of changing the world and making it a better place. They were sure attractive to my untrained and unsophisticated mind.
The results 10 years later were predictable. My friends and I were experiencing wholesale drug addiction, venereal disease, abortion, alienation, and loneliness. The hippies turned out to be leftist ideologues of the most rigid type. A few years after that, we experienced AIDS, broken families, and crack.
Some of us made it out alive. For that I thank God, my family, and the traditional values of American culture. As far as those at that outdoor party in San Francisco are concerned, the faster they die off and go away, the better.
Resonate? I'd use the word "ruin." The counterculture did nothing but ruin everything it touched, sending shock waves so far into the future, we cannot know when the destruction will end.
You well describe their many "achievements." I must add I NEVER found them attractive at any point in my childhood or youth. It was clear to me at ten, that what they were doing would lead to nothing good.
You got that right,responsible for many dead Cambodians...and the spineless democratic (pot) party. unless they coverted they are still a waste of skin....
There was a saying back then:
"If you don't like the Cops, next time you have a problem call a Hippie!"
to 27...you are right...
I had an aunt who did time for weapons smuggling for some radical group that was supposed to overthrow "Da Man." She crawled out of her hole when my grandfather died and hounded my dad for her share of the sale of his home. She then promptly vanished, and hasn't been heard from since. And that's not a bad thing, actually.
Tie-dyed Depends. Now THAT'S funny.
