Grumble...I had long hair and wore those clothes and all, but it always burned me up when people called me a hippie.

Especially at work.
I would always remind them that hippies *don't work,* and i worked every day that I wasn't studying.

I still tie my hair back, but I'm not bald or balding.

Protesters always annoyed me when they carried those signs that all read "World Socialist Order," or some such nonsense, and I never joined in any of them.

Then you were truly independent, Bill! You just liked the look. That's OK. We can accept that. ;-)

But you just have to excuse us when the truth is that was the look of a whole "movement" so it's hard to dissocciate w/the latter!
