All hippies are bad? Wow, that's lame.
Kinda like saying all climbers are bad, all blacks are bad, all Arabs are bad, all Christians are bad, all children are bad.
Look in the mirror brothers. The first as#@&%e you met today might have been the one you shaved this morning.

If you haven't noticed, the human race is well on the way to destroying our one and only planet. Seems to me its time to at least start thinking about other paradigms for existence other than "work/buy/work/buy/work/buy...." ad nauseam.

The majority of "hippies" are way more harmonious, sincere and less consumptive than your average yuppie climber wanna be.
Hate on you hypocrites.

What exactly does this have to do with Native Americans other than someone setup a tipi?

Yeah, the Native American connection looks pretty weak.
Native American men were warriors or dead.
When I hang out at modern PowWows I noticed that if you are a Native American man and you are not a Marine Corps Veteran, you ain't squat.
Living nearly naked in the outdoors with minimal grooming seems to be something in common with the old ones.

This body was in physical attendance at the 1978 gathering at Whitehorse Meadow in Oregon. There were swindlers there too, as with anywhere. This body carries many memories of this short gathering, mostly humorous, healthy and good. Also, some lifelong lessons on what's true and what's false. This body departed from and returned to the Great Curry Parking Lot for this long motor vehicle excursion with three other bodies in what was then called a VW Bug. This body would like to return and just sit and watch to see what has changed in 35 years.

Was on the road, w/ my gal in my bus '97? or so... living the "hippy" life.
We heard about, and showed up to a gathering in Idaho, I think.
The scene impressed me,at first, as it was so "off the grid", a sub-culture/ community removed from "the norm". Folks hugged us contantly, and exclaimed their love. We tried to get it, and kept our minds open,... but in the end, I remember feeling un-welcome. Like at a party, that everyone knows eachother, and you know no-one. Perhaps we didn't find our place... I know we didn't "look" the part, and felt that this was a factor... aaanyway, we stayed two days... I remember driving out, on the dirt road, Primus cranked on the stereo, back on the road...feeling free again. Anway, that' my Rainbow report. All the power to them though.

Q: What's the difference between a hippie chick and a hockey player?
I was gonna say something, but then I saw your post.....
The new hippie fashion is tie dye clothing with a flannel shirt. (I just attended a hippie fest this weekend in the mountains of West Virginia...)
Just when you thought hippie fashion was revolting enough - then they started mixing flannel with tie dye....
I still dig hippie chicks.
As Butthead says: "Bathe her, and bring her to me."

Sometimes I wonder "why do I like this website?"
Oh well, that will teach me to stick to the "Birds" thread.

Rainbowers - camp in the dirt on public land, do nothing of use for society...
Climbers - camp in the dirt on public land, do nothing of use for society...
ROTFL...+1.
The comparison kinda breaks down when one gets to the "energy-sucking drifters" level, but it ain't my scene - maybe I caught a "bad vibe" in central Oregon in the late 1990's.

The label Hippie is pretty misunderstood by the general public and is as varied as the term climber, Christian or democrat. I have been to a couple of Rainbow Gatherings albeit a long time ago. I think that anytime a big happening is free there is an opportunity for degeneration. That's probably why Burning Man is not exactly the same. But has its share of problems.
What would happen if Camp Four was free? There are thieves and losers in every society. You don't have to wear tye-dye, have long hair, be unkempt or a freeloader to be a hippie. Stereotypes are just that. I am even sure some of the haters here are nice guys too. Minds are like parachutes.
