LOL! Oh my!
They must've been so jealous that they were "born too early" for the Great Hippie Revolution!
Oh well, at least they give us a snapshot of what the average left-over hippie will look like in 20 years. (Altho they *do* seem better-dressed and scrubbed than your average hippie. I guess some cultural norms from the Silent Generation never die off.)

My Dad is a Silent who was "born too early" - but somehow, it never stopped him from becoming a Hippie. Although, in the day, he was more the pothead than the L-taker. He also played around with downs. The self medicating mentality was and still is there, including the en vogue anti depressants, but he no longer tokes or takes any serious meds. [Just a note, my own prescription history includes a couple of rounds of anti biotics over the span of nearly 40 years; outside of some teen partying, drinking and a few herbaceous items, I have been pretty anti drug ...]. Outside of the drugs were the enounter groups, the nudist colony that also happened to have massage, and the extreme Left politics. He is really into the whole anti Bush thing in an International ANSWERish sort of way, it's amazing we still speak.
