Hey,...some of us hippies had to study, avoid the draft, protest local 
and international efforts of the man and such...we couldn't read 
EVERYTHING...and these guys looked like our old man!  And its for damn

become WAY to common to be cool.

And let us not confuse hippies, subsequent or otherwise with the Young 
Republicans and other dangerious reactionarly toadies of the man.
