Without a doubt, and the realization that they tried - and failed - twice to change this great country (although their kind did a lot of damage during the dark years of 1993-2000) must be a huge burden. Imagine suddenly awakening to the realization that no one wants what you are preaching.
It's sad, really, because I know quite a few left over hippies that could have amounted to something if they had just applied themselves. Unfortunately many of them still subscribe to the old theory that "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope".

You know, sir, I am not young myself, and made a lot of really bad mistakes in my life, but when looking at others who grew up at the same time I did (the infamous "Baby Boomer" generation), who had adopted, vigorously and enthusiastically, the "hippie culture," it just seems that despite some of these pretty massive mistakes I made, I have fewer, or no, regrets. Things happen.

Along with fewer, or no regrets, I still have all my original hair, all my original teeth.....as compared with the alleged photographs of DUmmies my own age.

I am just lucky, I guess.

Accomplished hippies are in the ACLU and in high schools and colleges teaching and working on the evening news and at every big newspaper.

I would rather keep the lefty 60's doper on the couch, because they get dangerous when they actually apply themselves and do something.
