lmao. very nice!
One quibble: "hippy-ish libertarian" = oxymoron?
At least if you're talking about Libertarians, I know few who could be described as "hippy-ish" -- many/most oppose social spending, for example.

Heh, well, yes and no. But around here I'd say we don't have so many actual "Libertarians" -- meaning, subscribing to the doctrines of the political party -- as much as simply libertarian kind of thinkers. Seriously; how many libertarian ideas do you see in the ideas of the hippies? I see a bunch.

Actually, many hippies fit into the "libertarian" category. Of course the right to bear arms might not be emphasized as much, but basic libertarian thought is that the Government should stay out of its citizens' personal lives. I think that there are many many people who are libertarians who don't even know it.

Well, hippies are "traditionally" associated with being liberal, and that has meant in modern politics strong government control of the private sector and high public spending. That is the anti-thesis of Libertarian thought. But in today's world the rules are changing left and right. It is becoming increasingly harder to attribute politics to the labels "liberal" and "conservative."

"The atmosphere, almost but not quite without exception, is one of feignedly studious, faux-zealous sensitivity, a bastard child of the arts of walking on social eggs and kowtowing at the feet of a revered master, whilst peeking assiduously around at his fur-trimmed boots to see when he might leave so you can go back to your business."

Holy... you'd think your conscience was paying you by the sentence, my love. Or whoever it is that funds your creativity. Keep it up.

Tory is a filet o' fish.

That was rather insightful.
