You know, I’ve thought about that a lot myself. I think the original hippies were alright. Live off the land, keep to themselves, live how they want to live. Sounds a lot like me, really. Now the whole drugs and other crap, no. I have known quite a few people here in Alaska who are children of “hippies” good people who mind their own business and help each other out. Some are still what I would call “earthy” but the same applies.
They are not hippies; they are “crunchy conservatives” AKA Classical Liberals.
