When I lived in Fort Collins they had a "gathering" in the hills west of town. Sorry bunch of miscreants as you've ever seen. I guess that's what you become when you've lost self respect and visions of a meaningful future. Watch your belongings!

I won't stand up for that (or any) band of miscreants; that would be stupid.
The hippie movement is not a bunch of miscreants, though. I live right here in hippie central, in Eugene. I know some wonderful, productive people who if you saw them walking down the street you might call them a hippie. Yet they are great parents, productive workers, very interesting, intelligent people... etc.
Anyway, paint with as broad a brush as you care to- I won't argue, what's the point- but you'll be wrong, if that matters.

Hippie women that shave are usually keepers.

Hey I like hippies! Think of them as free entertainment when there's nothing interesting on TV. 
I'm Libertarian for these 3 reasons:
1.) I'm American
2.) I'm not insane enough to be Democrat
3.) I'm not wussy enough to be Republican

Those long haired folks with JOBS and tie dyed shirts, subarus, and birkenstocks are called "liberals." The long haired folks ON WELFARE wearing tie dyed shirts, driving ancient VW buses, with dirty fingernails, and a substance abuse problem are called "hippies." BMT

I asked a guy at work why his hair was so long, if he was trying to look like his mother;
he replied "no, my moms got short hair"...I was at a loss for words.

Years ago they set up camp here for a couple weeks, 100s. Bus covered in bikes, lots o nakedness in town. Took awhile for the sheriff to get them all rounded up and out of the county. Lot of places to hide around these woods.

There is a large group of the rainbow family that lives year round just south of me, down in the Ocala National Forrest. On some sort of schedual, known only to them, the numbers swell, and decrease from time to tome.
Mostly they are out of sight, but don't think for a moment, that despite what Jeff thinks, the crime stats spike when more come to visit.
I absolutly despise hippies.

There is a big permanent population of them in Taos, NM. Most of em were decent sorts and many of them are "Trust Fund babies" that get money once a month from a family trust.

BMT Actually, the 2008 World Gathering is going to be held near Pinedale and the Wind River Range. There's still time to get involved for anyone who's interested. http://www.welcomehere.org/gathering_of_the_tribes/annual/I don't care how people dress or if they want to run around the forest naked. But, they do tend to overwhelm the carrying capacity of the land they take over. I understand it's quite a mess after they leave, for which the taxpayers wind up footing the bill.
