If the world was run by hippies there wouldn't be any more hippies, because the realization of how the world really is outside of their sheltered middle class lives would drive the hippie right out of them.
Fuck, the people running the world today probably were hippies back in their younger days.

The only former hippie in power now is losing his senate seat to a comedian.

I haven't seen that old creep around in a long time. He must be living it up in Thailand.

Trying marijuana a few times the way Clinton did doesn't make you a hippie. And Kucinich says he's never smoked pot(even though he supports decriminalization). He is vegan, though. So that counts for something.

Kucinich is as much of a hippie as it gets, even if he's not toking up....which I highly fucking doubt.

whats a 'hippie'? fuck labels. if the establishment wasnt on a power trip, brainwashing society to obsess over trivial material objects, attempting to make a buck anyway they can even at the death and oppression of its own citizens. yes the world would be a better place.

I don't know what the fuck a hippie is but I am referring to open minded/chilled out- non violent/corporate types that don't mind the use of psychedelics

LSD may be powerful but it isn't a cure-all. Someone with truly evil intent would carry on regardless.

Hippies like to promote things like the rights of lab rats and severe environmental restrictions.

Charles Manson used LSD to help brainwash his followers. Point and case.
