Is there still a group of people that is being called "hippies"?  Who would that be, exactly, today?  What is a 2007 "hippie"?

Do hippies have very organized closets, drawers and pantries?

I'm so sad and lonely in my pathetic group of one. Excuse me why I go put on my hemp cargo shorts, smoke a bowl and play some disc golf, all the while crying patchouli-scented tears.

Come to the South East Side of the Big Island. They don't look like Jim. They have dread locks, wear handmade clothes, hitch hike, live in tents or in communities without electricity and water, hang out at Natural food stores and farmers markets, protest Green Harvest (practice of helicopters flying over areas looking for Marijuana plants), use the library's computer for internet browsing... That listing was not meant to be judgemental, just an illustration of some of the traditional hippies here.

You would be surprised at what you see. The nice part is that there is a diverse group of people who believe in the Hippie lifestyle, they just aren't as easy to spot as some of the others.

I think those might be the ones I need a descripton of.  There are definitely no stereotypical hippies anywhere in my world, but I want to spot the secret hippies who might be lurking around me.........or I'm wondering if I might have some latent hippie tendencies (hopefully better than latent maniacal tendencies - sorry movie reference) that I need to shed light on, so I can authentically participate in this poll !

Subject: RE: Hippies, Neocons and Fence Sitters in COJ

This thread is hereby elected the "Thread of the Day" and to honor it as such I dedicate this song to all the hippies dope smokers and red neck cow ropers on BT.

I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my cheverolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radio

Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow

Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasn't a filling station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a red-neck lookin joint called the Dew Drop Inn

I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And ywould he be kind enough to give me change for a one

There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place except for him and me
He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways
He said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somone out there in just about 10 minutes or so

He said," Now, you just stay right where yer at!"
And I didn't bother to tell the darn fool
That I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

So I ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said, "Who owns this car
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor?"

He looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd just wait outside
So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

Just when I wthought I'd get outta there with my skin
These 3 big dudes come strollin in
With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
Especially when there was three of them and only one of me

I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said, "You tip your hat to this lady, son!"
And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath

They all started laughin and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I better think of something pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee

Now he let out a yell that'd curl yer hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said "Now watch him Folks cause he's a fairly dangerous man!"

"You may not know it but this man is a spy.
He's a undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!"

He was still bent over holdin on to his knee
But everybody else was looking and listening to me
And I laid it on thicker hand heavier as I went

"He's a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
I betchya he's even got a commie flag
tacked up on the wall inside of his garage."

"He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys.
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise,
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage"

"Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President."

They started lookin real suspicious at him
He jumped up and said "Now just wait a minute Jim!
You know he's lying I been living here all of my life!"

"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
And I aint even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!"

Then he started saying somethin bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run outta luck

When I hit the door I was making tracks
And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up

Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trott

Now I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot

I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didn't slow down till I was almost to Arkansas

I think I'm gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to L.A., via Omaha

Started out as a conservative straight party line Republican.

Life experiences and (hopefully) gained-wisdom over the years have transformed me, at age 53, into a political moderate.

I still support a strong defense, but am increasingly passionate about social and economic injustice. 

I've been very blessed in this life and feel that I need to give back to those who are less fortunate.
