That's exactly the problem I had with hippies, Ron! At first I was starry-eyed in my idealism about the movement. After a few years I reached the point of just being broken-hearted about the conformist hypocrisy of it all. I began to feel contempt for most of the people in the hippy mainstream...precisely because of the unthinking conformity and prejudice you allude to.

Being the guy who never smoked either dope or cigarettes and never got drunk either, I was always somewhat the odd man out among those young fools.
