That generation sparked a temporary movement to save the planet from ecological disaster. If enough people, especially the youth, join a movement of non-participation it will bring big business and government to its knees. That is because the system that controls us is fueled my money and profit. If people rebel against this ridiculous control, the power structure can be broken. It exist only because the masses allow it. http://perdurabo10.tripod.com/id482.html It was the Hippie Generation that discovered the Earth’s ecology was threatened.

This was bound to happen as the term "hippie" became so blurred that it came to mean anyone who wore and did the fashionable things of the time. So everyone self describes themselves as having been "hippies" and then write their youthful lives off. I am always heartened to see someone treating some of the deeper actualities of those days seriously and with respect. Hippies aka freaks, were always a small minority, they were just too ripe with signification for the commercial world not to exploit (ie. they were colorful, interesting and sometimes very sexy). I'll be watching too, thanks for the pointer. It seems that, in the last few decades, there has been a constant denigrating of the “hippie” experience of the sixties.
