"And the straight world.........." This statement here bothered me, and I couldn't quite grasp why when I first read it, but then it hit me. It relates to the previous post that mentioned "45 years on". So what are you now? Are you still a Hippie? Do you live by all the ideals that were central and dear to you at that time, and what were those? I only know of one example of my older siblings friends remaining true and living in the ideas they embraced in the 60's. They live very simply in a rural setting (no electricity) and just get by with small scale farming and selling their own crafts. All the others of this group went on to seek money and big houses, cars, etc. How do you explain this? I think I already did. They were reprogrammed. So the above sentence fragment strikes me as quite funny based on your conversations at SI. Going to work on an oil pipeline, working for state gov., selling real estate. Quite straight, quite straight. Could very well be wrong as I don't really know you, just very interested in your viewpont of what appears to me as cognitive dissonance.
