The Hippies were the only ones in the 60's/70's that had their shit together (and died for it) by dragging us out of needless wars, showing America the damage being done to our environment, decrying racism and poverty in our cities, and the cost to America by a needless war on drugs, or shall I say a war on truth.
I paid my taxes, worked hard for my money, and got fucked by every single one of my Republican employers, so that's a big reason I went underground and now am a criminal in the eyes of the Law.
These are the ones that fucked this country, the Republican God Fearing Evangelical Boomers, not the Hippies.
So Millennials/GenX, get off your skinny asses and do something to help to straighten out the continuing mess that you have inherited, just like the one I inherited, which without the "Hippie" you would have shit all, like every liberal protocol that you enjoy today, like LGBTQ rights/Civil rights/Equal pay/Planned Parenthood and legal herb in 8 states in this country.
We invented political activism motherfuckers, so don't blame your hippie parents, learn from them and do something besides moan, you little boys and girls
