Why bash hippies ?

[blues90]

I hear all these similarities between Vietnam and this Insane Iraq occupation .

The only thing similar is both were illegal wars where many innocent people died and both were based on lies .

As far as Hippies and protests go and anti-war groups , during the 60's we had a generation conflict but not a divided country . The so called Yippies or beat generation did not take the Hippies serious until we actually helped to end the war and it took time . Yes we went a bit to far with the drug scene but the youth of that time were involved and many still are .

We wanted to break the mold of the 40's and 50's that's all . Now we are right back with all the old time murderous bunch forging on ahead with their decade old plans .
