Hippies Suck
Today, I'm going to talk to you about something I love: hippies. Specifically, I love to rag on them.
The hippy movement of the late sixties and early seventies was not, by any means, a good thing. No no no. Remember Steal This Book? It was supposed to be the bible of the hippie revolution, and it spoke of such things as how to steal, grow your own marijuna, fight the Man, etcetera.
Hmm, let's look at some of the teachings of hippyism:
Free love- Oh, there's one! "Free" means "free of consequence", so you can be as much of a whore (or man whore, for my male readers) as you want, and nothing bad will happen to you! Of course, you'll loose your self-esteem, more than likely get a disease, and possibly develope emotional problems, but that was never mentioned by a hippy.
Drug use- Look, it's bad enough that tobacco use has been ingrained in our culture since colonial times; do we really need to add marijuana to the list?
And, of course, the classic hippy exercise, protesting against the military. We've all seen pics of Vietnam protests, right?
So, while brave young men were risking their lives in a god-forsaken jungle on the other side of the world, you were sitting here have sex and drugs and your damn annoying hippy music, right, Mr. Hippy? And when those men came home, you had the tenacity, the unimaginable GALL, to assail them in hurtful and vile ways?
So, in summary, hippies and their pariphenalia aren't 'cool', 'retro', or 'neat'. They're stupid, sortsighted apperitions of society whose movement was the genesis of many of the social problems our society faces today. They shouldn't be glorified; they should be ridiculed like the stoned fools they are.
Or maybe I'm just a military brat.
Thought of the moment: Wow, the protests in New York turned violent. Who saw that coming? *raises hand*
Quote of the moment: "Meh!"
Song of the moment: None today; I gotta' go.
