Meet the figures whose words and actions inspired it and destroyed it. See how the vibrations from that era are still resonating today in almost every aspect of American life, from the clothes we wear, to the Personal Computer and the Internet. Finally, historic footage, stills and period graphics are interwoven with expert commentary and eyewitness testimony.

As a member of Generation X, I agree with that statement.

These are,essentially,the same scumbags who today pay $15/pound for chicken at Whole Foods and drive $60K Range Rovers that sport Kucinich for President bumper stickers.

Final quote- "We all have a little hippie in us"

True... it's a result of the God-given free will that generally serves to get us into trouble!

Say what you like about Whole Foods, but they are the only folks who have Wild AMERICAN shrimp on a regular basis. Unlike the major chains (Shop Rite, Wegmans in my area), they will also peel and devein for you as well. They are also the only folks who carry white eggplant outside of the farmer’s markets.

I think I was an ‘Objectivist chick’ in my early twenties. I never had a guy ‘go though the whole Objectivist routine’ just because he thought he might get lucky.

>Is that Pamela Des Barres?




Yep. I got the pic
from a cool Italian site
(I think it's cool, I

don't speak Italian).
For people who don't know her,
she wrote these two books,

and she's on the web.
Pretty cool that she's alive
and not comatose!

I'm gonna blow up
an apartment complex that
I designed because

the contractors screwed
with my plans. Want to go out
and have a picnic

the night before? If
you put out, I'll wait for you
to get to a ditch

before I set off
the charges... (It's quid pro quo
in the world of Rand...)

LOL!
That is too funny. I guess if someone had said that to me they probably would have gotten lucky.
(not because they were cool, but because they could put Rand in perspective)
