Hippies

From a few years ago, until recently, I wasn't very fond of the group labeled as hippies. There are a few reasons. My dad is kind of one, and he can be a little annoying sometimes. A lot of them aren't exactly the most hygienic types. And there are a few who think they know everything about the world, especially politics. But after watching the movie Taking Woodstock, much of that becomes forgivable. "Hippies" re the most loving and down to earth people on the planet. And how they are labeled is a product of it. They shouldn't be labeled, just because there are people that don't believe in the normal rules of society, doesn't mean they should be put into a group. Did you know that at Woodstock, there were hundreds of thousands of people, close to, if not a million. And there wasn't a single recorded act of violence.

There's a reason a lot of them do drugs, and that's to experience the world how they think it should be. And the music they listen to is good for their trips I guess. Maybe it's just because they want to follow the crowd but, I don't think so. Anything goes, because they're world is just so awesome. You're gender, your ethnicity, nothing matters. The reason they're all for protecting the environment is that they love the world, other than the people that inhabit it who are trying to destroy it. Which is probably why most of them are so liberal, liberals tend to want to take care of the world, and want people to have more freedom to do what they want.

So please people, don't be an Eric Cartman. Don't hate hippies,the only reason they're a group is because they aren't part of any group. As always, I'm probably just talking out of my ass. Maybe they are a group. Maybe some of them aren't loving people, they just put on a mask to fit in with the crowd. Maybe that's the reason why there isn't rarely a hippy who will call themselves one. But I think it's because they don't identify as a group, they just are. Think about this, do you know any wannabe hippies? I don't, I think a hipster is the closest thing to that, but most of them are just assholes that ride around on fixies and don't want to be associated with real hippies, if there is such a thing. So yeah, that's all I got on the subject, later. (In honor of them, before this point, there were 420 words)
