can you name a few things that hippies stand for?

Or should stand for, or the wholle world should stand for too.
And what things we should all protest against.

 

Peace and Love.

The rest of it is really just frivolous, or parts of those two things...

 

^yeah waht he said.
peace and love.
and I might add, individuality/freedom to that last.

 

The right to question authority and to let the Universe know when and where injustice exists.

 

Yep... Peace and love basically says it all.

 

freedom to be who we are and do what we do without censorship or fear of imprisonment.

 

freedom to be out-of-date.

 

What about..... simplicity, colorfulness, generosity, purity, humor, ecology-minded, Non-patriotic, adventurous, non-prejudiced, affectionate, artistic, strong, kind,
empathic, thrifty, creative?

 

Hippies are devoutly against the war in Vietnam

 

i dont know about standing or sitting .....but globalized capitol and a global neo govt run by carpetbaggers who create strife n destruction so they can speculate on and profit by saME . CONTROLING MARKETS AND WAGES -PRICES making the world one juristiction with no room for digression from their plan ......worry bout that .....

 

Hippies have a more direct connection with the earth and its creatures. They eat real food as opposed to junk food grown and preserved with chemicals, they don't use things(like cars) that poison or degrade the earth, they put back what they take from mother nature(compost, recycle, reuse), they treat their fellow animal creatures with love, respect and compassion, and they love themselves and don't abuse their bodies by using dangerous drugs or abusing the sacred healing herbs.

 

peace. conservement of nature. love. unity. equal rights. having a say in the government.

 

if i would protest i would try to do it in a unique way, to to get some attention, to raise consiousness. tell people about all kinds of problems: wars, inequality, unhealthy lifestyle and violence and i would tell them there are plently solutions, some are already in existence, some still have to be sought, but they are out there.

but i could start a corporation where people get fired when they are rascistic, sexistic, where i could hire minorities, where i could give people freedom to do their job the way they want to do it and i could use my profits to invest in other corporations with a good attitude. i could try to make some fair-trade environmental-friendly product which is a good alternative for the ones of my competitors

in the end i think these kind of actions are way more sustainable and hold much more profit than to protest until you drop, though protests are a good way to raise conciousness somethimes

 

i also think it is important to look upon the state of democrasies in the world, because it seems like freedom is endangered allmost everywhere

sorry for the dubble-post

 

Ben Harper sums up my own hippie mentality quite nicely:

My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causing no harm, then you're alright with me.

 

It's all about the LOVE.

 

Um...so why are you three feet off the ground???

 

It looks to me like he might be jumping for joy.!!!!!!

 

Oh yes. I love those lyrics. That song's great .
