Subject: RE: BS: Is 60s Hippie Worshipping a Religion?
I think it is great you're all so grounded in your individual lives and are articulate enough to put forward your views on how a wide ranging observation I made either stirred or offended you.Sorry about the sheep Bruce, it is a well worn metaphor that one I know.I was really thinking of the ex hippies who work in marketing and the arts these days and are ploughing the depths of low culture and reaffirming their own parents life aspirations to feather their own nests.For example the "New Woodstock" was merely an excercise in monetary gain and paid no heed to aesthetic values or the opportunity to achieve communal positivity or anything positive for that matter. Is there any wonder the kids went into destroy mode; all the hippies were saying it's a real happening experience and you should really go with it; and the kids get there and are thoroughly exploited micro and macro economically. Are we all a bit clearer on my original point now or do we require another example?

Best Wishes
