31. Thank you for a thoughtful reply to pointed questions
that were not meant as an insult. More delicately stated, one wonders how the values of the hippie generation got co-opted or dropped...unless large numbers of the participants WERE in it for fashions sake at the time. When styles changed, so did sensibilities.

You point out that there are different ways of negotiating these waters (or dealing with the dreaded "selling out.") There's a sliding scale from hippie dream to yuppie nightmare.

Your sig line has it:

"The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." -- Howard Zinn
