It would be foolish, of course, to blame hippies either for producing the misinformation, and, to a lesser degree, to pin the subsequent bad policy choices directly on them. They play a role in the latter, they do vote sometimes; a prominent role even, but not of course exclusive. If you had been careful in your reading, you would have seen me do neither. What I said was I had to listen to them talk about it for a decade. Which, if you keep thinking for a second: why is this guy around so many hippies? Anyway, namaste bro. I'm a white guy who was raised as a vegetarian Hindu, I get to say that.
