they were??!!!!

damn...and i thought it was just long hair and lying in the mud....

 

ah..the challenges of growing up being " different " ....the pride ya feel for

blazes yer own trail, the satisfaction that you get when you realize you

aren't just stamped from the societal cookie cutter, the discovery of new

ideas, the whistle of the bottle just before it hits yer noggin after being

launched from a fast moving vehicle...

ahem

I think if we all dress/groom ourselves as hippies it's too easy for the

mainstream to 'write us off' and it creates a marked division between Us and

Them.

 

IMO it's better that we all make this choice for ourselves. I for one have had

a marked influence in my office on peoples' diets, no conversions yet, but

here's hoping. We are all ambassadors for our ethical stance so we have to be

everywhere working/living/playing alongside the others.

I agree with Sas, if you dress differently at school/uni then people

can make life pretty crap for you... I always tried to wear what I

liked but it's really hard sometimes. (Btw, I didn't dress like a

hippy, but that's what I got called - obviously they were all wearing

dog collars and fishnets at Woodstock). For me it ties in with being

veg*n cos it all has to do with standing up for what feels right to

you.

 

Anyway, veganism *will* get as popular as being veggie eventually...

everyone else conforming to our standards??

 

And you don't always need to conform to pull nice men. Hee hee hee.
