Yes...I'm a hippie and proud of it.

Remember bra and draft card burning? Remember "make love not war..."? Remember "PEACE OUT...?" Remember stand up againt..."The Man...?"

We may not have understood what was going on but we knew it was going the wrong way and tried to stand up against. Our rebellion tactic...long hair, flowers and smoking pot in peaceful groups.

Yes there were a few idiots that improperly acted...like disrespecting the military and there was some hair pulling over that. It was not the military that was at fault...but many did not understand back then so they lashed out at the military (glad I was not a part of that movment). We have the exact same war going on now and no one knows what to do about it but at least they are not disrespecting the boys like America did to the Vietnam kids.

It may not seem much now...but we tried to stop what was going on by pointing it out. I held out hope that when "my" generation came into power that things would change.

Well...they have.

I am sorry for what my generation is doing. This kind of sell out is beyond my imagination.
