29. Uh, hippies didn't vote for Reagan. That was the second cohort
of Boomers, the ones who were too young for the 60s and who came of age just in time for platform shoes and mirror balls--DISCO. Those were the ones who spent their teen years being lectured to by parents about those horrible grubby hippies and took it to heart, settling for glitz instead of justice.

I suggest you take your misinformed crap someplace they misspell "hippie" the way you do, a dead giveaway to somebody who wasn't there and is talking through his, er, hat.

We need both, by the way, Joad's prison tested working man's smarts along with hippie idealism. Neither will work well without the other. We need both to drive a stake into conservatism's shriveled, hardened heart.
