What did we learn from the Hippies?

A lot of things are changing in America as far as legalization of cannabis, there are huge 420 festivals going on this weekend, and basically a lot of Americans are completely fed up with the government and foreign relations, violence and the economy (all political parties).

Additionally, I’ve been thinking about the collective here and the collective mind-set of the flower children, all wanting to improve the world. Communes interest me as well.

What do you think we learned from the hippies and why?

Do you believe that as humans, we are able to collectively think of, work toward a common goal now or ever?

Do you believe “love is all there is”?

If you are a hippie or ever were (young or old), feel free to share any experiences or thoughts with the collective about your journey and how it affected your life/ mind-set.
