Hippies

Most of em' didn't do the drugs, the drugs did them. Somehow, somewhere, they became afraid. They bought into the myth of middle class 'Merka. Most of 'em succumbed to beer bellies, mini-vans, working for the man, worried about their mortgage in a ticky-tacky house in a boring housing development with winding cul-de-sac streets. Whats on their folded up minds isn't what the quality of life is anywhere else, only "I got mine, and how do I keep it going!!", are their "kids" doing drugs, and becoming wiggers, are they gonna get laid off down at the plant, what's on tv tonite, is it always bad news, is society really collapsing around us? These are the same ones brought us W, by listening to his handlers and fear mongers spout promises of a better life. And one they'll never attain since they're not a filthy rich corruptible politician/business man. Grass roots organization to them means there's no dandelions in the yard.. Yet some, a few, learned from that "70's Show, if you will, a worldly wisdom, some heard a song of the cosmos, so they practice what they preach. What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
