I didn't, either. The informant is a client and I was unsure of her own politics, although she has received the usual nannying from progressive minders, so I didn't ask much more after she volunteered this. She did add, with a shrug, that “everyone is racist, I know that I certainly am” and went on to say that since the blacks could vote on race, so could she.

Rich progressives fear for their own wealth, already lessened in the credit meltdown. There are stories around from RNs about big cutbacks in elective surgical procedures and therefore, also in the surgery departments of a large regional hospital due to increased co-pays. Many of our rich progressives are MDs.

I can believe old hippies would vote Nader or stay home. There is a huge creepiness factor with zerO. The organic food/dairy industry that employs most of the hippies is experiencing its own money problems since it has become a corporate enterprise itself. The word may be out (I don't know this for sure) that under “collective capitalism”, there will be job cuts.

Another faction of old hippies are either trust kids looking at reduced distributions if the principal is to last or expectant inheritors whose elderly parents suddenly find they cannot afford their retirement expenses, let alone have anything to leave to the *kids*.

You can google “collective capitalism”. It has been a buzz word from the local organic dairy co-op BOD for over a year and a half. Unfortunately, their profits are very much diminished in the past 8-9 months.

There is a thread of anarchist and libertarian thinking among the old and young hippies. The idea of large intrusive government would not be something they’d support.
