(82,849 posts)Reaganville is the ideal small town. Everyone knows everyone else, nobody locks their doors at night or really anytime. The political and the business community work together to maintain their well-ordered community.
Then one fateful day . . . A VW minibus rolls down Main Street when it suffers a breakdown. The doors open and Hippies emerge into the sunlight, blinking and smelling of patchouli. With their unconventional garb, long hair, and wild ideas, they're instantly marked as troublemakers. Susie, a recent graduate of Reaganville High School approaches the Hippies to ask if she can offer them some assistance. She gets a little too close and inhales a whiff of the Hippies' deadly marijuana.
The rest, of course, practically writes itself. I'm not sure about the final conversation between Leroy, Reaganville's Negro, and Herb, the leader of the Hippies. Should Leroy just voice some encomium about knowing his place in Reaganville and being comfortable with that, walking away sorrowfully at Herb's crazy notions of equality? Or should Leroy drop Herb with one punch while telling him in no uncertain terms to get out of town?
