Okay, I may have added to the confusion there.
I guess it all depends on how you define hippy doesn't it? According to conservatives anyone who protests anything that the majority are in favour of is a hippy. I guess that is what i was referring to... because as far as I was concerned that was the frame of reference. I should have been more specific.
I certainly don't believe all hippies are free thinkers though many might be. I don't even know how many "hippies" would label themselves that way. These days that seems to be a derogatory label used by conservatives in an attempt to discredit someones views. A true free thinker lets nobody tell him what to believe... be that government, media, religion... any organisation.
