About "HIPPIE DAZE"
I am sick of the big oil companies and their incompetence. There has to be an end put to this before it puts an end to us.

No matter where one should stand on the political fence there is no denying the influence of the Counter Culture of the 1960s and 70s. Those changes are the theme of this group. Please follow the group rules. That may be a drag but to maintain the “Harmony” wanted here, certain guidelines need to be in place.
1. No hostilities against others.
2. No espousing of political views. This is not a political forum.
Invites or comments are not required and not participating will not get you banned. However it would be very cool to do so. It would help the group grow and we all like comments. Remember, what goes around, comes around.
Accepted mediums:
Photos of the “Hippie Days,” if you have any.
Photos from current times if they reflect the Counter Culture.
Any artwork that depicts the Counter Culture. Peter Max sort of thing.
Poster designs, albums, CD, etc.
Members are encouraged to start their own discussion thread.
 
The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the mid-1960s and spread around the world. The word hippie derives from hipster, and was initially used to describe people who created their own communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.
On January 1967, the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco popularized hippie culture, leading to the legendary Summer of Love on the West Coast of the United States, and the 1969 Woodstock Festival on the East Coast. Hippies in Mexico, known as jipitecas, formed La Onda Chicana and gathered at Avándaro, while in New Zealand, nomadic housetruckers practiced alternative lifestyles and promoted sustainable energy at Nambassa. In the United Kingdom, mobile "peace convoys" of New age travellers made summer pilgrimages to free music festivals at Stonehenge. In Australia hippies gathered at Nimbin for the 1973 Aquarius Festival and the annual Cannabis Law Reform Rally or MardiGrass. In Chile, "Festival Piedra Roja" was held in 1970 (following Woodstock's success), and was the major hippie event in that country.
Hippie fashions and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the 1960s, many aspects of hippie culture have been assimilated by mainstream society. The religious and cultural diversity espoused by the hippies has gained widespread acceptance, and Eastern philosophy and spiritual concepts have reached a wide audience. The hippie legacy can be observed in contemporary culture in myriad forms — from health food, to music festivals, to contemporary sexual mores, and even to the cyberspace revolution.
