according to Abbie.........the hippie died after the summer of love.........hell they even had a funeral in the haight-asbury the prevalence of the so-called neo-hippie in modern culture is more about image than actual ideals, however, it's still the possible beginnings of another movement. I believe alot of kids have thier hearts in the right place, they just need to be educated. Young people are the essence of revolution, they have young minds that are still capable of being opened, they are idealistic, reject the status quo, and they have not become jaded with acceptance yet. As it always has been, the forces of change lie within the hearts and souls of the youth.
I've pretty much always considered myself a hippie for as long as I can remember... I have no idea why.
