The G-20 Summit is now underway in our fair city. I happen to be downtown yesterday, I can tell you that the buildings looked so nice all boarded up. Honestly they did, and the heavy duty fencing was an added touch. Also, the neo-hippies roaming around just added to the ambience, especially the one with the sign that said "We demand Jobs-Housing-Health Care." WTF? Seriously.
It's over- the whole hippy thing happened- it was a great moment in history, but you missed it. It's over now. You're not a real hippy, so give it up. Better yet- GO HOME. Hippies weren't violent. The businesses that boarded their windows did so because confused people who think they are hippies haved descended upon our city, demanding things like jobs and housing (which everyone else has to earn), and threaten us with violence and destruction. That's a sign of an enlightened being, isn't it? One who smashes coffee house windows and tips cars? Enlightenment for certain. Did that sound sarcastic? Good.

First of all, hippies do still exist. I'm a hippie. For real. You know I am.
Secondly, I saw a "hippie" walking across the street today wearing a shirt that said "Peace The Fuck Out" and I smiled and waved from my window at Lush and he just stared at me. I bet his soap is made in a sweatshop in China and has lard and palm oil in it. *shakes head in despair*
I don't know Cassie, there were a lot of college kids smashing windows and throwing rocks at the police this weekend calling themselves hippies. That's not what it's about. These hippies don't get it. Although, on Friday, there was a march that occurred with a permit. That was incident free. THose people were indeed peaceful, they were light hearted and they carried signs with a message. THese people were much older- none dressed as terrorists, none turning violent. Many of them were real hippies from the 60s. They were successful in delivering their message.
You are indeed a hippy because you believe in a better way of life and you not only promote it, but you live by example. An activist doesn't need to turn violent to promote his/her cause. You are a great example of that.
where are you hiding? almost a week since your last message jimmy. i'm waiting.... :)
