Then I guess you've defined "hippie" to include only those people
whom you seek to disparage. That's okay, but there were many
who fit the demographic who were really upset by the murder of
MLK, Jr. (and several months later of RFK), but, I guess, "they" 
wouldn't fit into your simple categorization. Again, that's okay, 
no one owns the word "hippie." However, if we're ever in proximity and 
you call me a hippie, don't be too surprised if I'm less than sociable.
