Martin,

Neither you nor anyone else is going to cause me to highjack your interesting thread on hippies any further than I have.

Suffice it to say that I'm not an absolutist about stereotypes or most anything else.

[Ha! I almost made an absolutist statement!!]

If the spirit moves me, I'll continue this discussion about stereotypes at another time and in what I consider to be a more appropriate thread.

Best wishes,

Azizi
