Letters to Hippyland
My Dad, the Hippie
I’m guessing I may be a lot younger then usual speakers of this site, but when I happened to come across this site for the first time today I couldn’t help but express what may be less then engaging then most articles on here. Being that I’m not even of legal drinking age, those who […] Continue reading
We Must Drop Out
I cannot live in a system where it is safe to conform, no hope for a greater improvement, where my goal in life is to grow up and work so I can afford vacations. I have no hope for America, or any other countries that support the death of human spirit. The only light my […] Continue reading
How I Became A Grease Monkey and Found Freedom
This is my story: of a man who found freedom and peace of mind. It’s simple, but I wanted to share it here: Ten years ago I was a corporate executive for a major investment firm. I really did have everything that anyone could want (materially): my MBA and a single focus had brought me […] Continue reading
The Republicans are Weakening
Now is not the time to become apathetic or quit. -Bu$h’s approval rating is below 40%. -Support for the war is at 2 in 5 people and dropping. -Karl Rove has the C.I.A. pissed at him over Vallery Plame’s identity… Rove is Bush’s Brain… and Bush has a lot of secrets… the republican party cannot […] Continue reading
The Perversion of Democracy
We’re all outraged at what’s happening, but it also seems like it’s all been said, over and over, which makes it most difficult to add anything. Maybe I just have writer’s block. My underlying grievance is that Bush et al are setting the agenda with hard right-wing policies even though they only came second in […] Continue reading

Fighting for something that I don’t even know about. I wish I could say that I understood why we’re here. Maybe oil, maybe something else. […] Continue reading

Republicans, Christians and Hippies
by Glenn McReynolds It was Sunday morning. I was living and working in North Wales at the time. It was one of those cool but sunny Welsh mornings…too incredible to describe really. When a knock came on the door. It was a guy I had come to know. His name was Chris. Now Chris was […] Continue reading
The Hippies Dream
In the hills of California Where the Hippies once did rave, Five eights of the way to accomplishment Lies a godforsaken grave. Hippies have never flowered the tomb Though the tombstone’’s said to gleam, For the fools that dug the hole never mentioned to a soul Where they buried the Hippies dream? www.xlibris.com/MeetMarkTwain.html Posted by: […] Continue reading
