(2,579 posts)Thanks for the walks down memory lane.
Those were the best of times, and also occasionally the worst of times.
I miss them terribly, especially the sense of hope that we had (however naive it may have been) that we really COULD change the world.
My hair is still long...down to my bum or hip length, depending on whether or not I have trimmed it.
I feel glad to know that you will miss those old hippie chicks when they retire.
There is too much bashing of boomers, both in the press and sometimes on DU.
The bashers don't seem to realize that we could not stop many of the unpleasant changes to our society which began in the late 1970's.
We scared the he!! out of the greedaholics....and they have fought against the changes we were trying to make, ever since.
