Make MONEY not Love

                                                          Ya gotta figure that after the Fall of Saigon in 1975, Hippies claimed victory, {I don't remember Hippies claiming victory} and that the Hippie sub-culture was exhausted AND that their own Efforts to establish some sort of Utopia or even Sanctuary in Haight-Ashbury, was a drug-induced crime-ridden DISASTER .   Not only couldn't Hippies Farm, they didn't know how and had never been ON a Farm, they steadfastly REFUSED to enter ANY "Political Arena" within which they could advance the more digestible aspects of Hippiedom, those of ULNIVERSAL Love and PLANETARY Peace .   Not only didn't they maintain allegiance to their own Values they de-evolved to the nearly BLIND Acceptance of Conservative Values evidenced by this >>>  "I HAD to cut my hair, I NEEDED a job !"   Although    not coerced, they "came to their senses" , meaning, they HAD-TO >>>Conform<<< if they were to advance into Life with a paying job, a job that could support (get this) THEIR VERSION of the >>>>>> American Dream .  Here it is where Hippies "became" Yuppies signaling the dissolution of Altruistic Values and the riSE of Conservativism , the same STATUS QUO Conservatism that was the Cause of the Hippie  Movement in the First Place .   I think THIS is why I think so poorly of the Hippie Movement, they CAVED .
