Goodness, I wouldn't like to hazard a guess but I do know that there are quite a few...some still lived in and some in ruins...some set up as tourist attractions which completely ruins them.\n\nMany of them are under the protection of The National Trust and English Heritage.\nhttp://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/\nhttp://www.english-heritage.org.uk/

not nearly as many as they used to. I think last time I read they had like over 100,000, maybe more. They don't bring in the ranks anymore because the Socialist Party USA has taken a lot of their potential members...

Absolutely.  Old hippies never die, we just flash back.  \n\nI have a fond spot in my heart for the really old jams, like St. Stephen.  I also still enjoy the Working Man's Dead album.

Hippies get a bad rap for trying to be peaceful and responsible, but they don't care because they aren't motivated by greed or desire to feel important.  \n\nFolks write off their ideas without giving them a fair consideration.  \n\nOur society needs more of the values that Hippies stand for, especially during these bleak times of war and government oppression.\n\nPeace.

Nope.\nTo see people, period, coming together is a great thing. It's changed so much over the past few decades...and will continue too. It's a beautiful thing!

A hippy is basicly a subjectivist, that is, a person that believes that anything and everything is equal, and that diplomacy is always the solution. Technically though, not all hippies are people that do not shower; a large portion do.\n\nThe solution to the hippy problem is simple. Give them their own autonomous country by sectioning off San Francisco and nearby parts of northwest California, then transport all hippies from the United States to said new country, and let any non-hippies from the new country leave. As a separate country, they will not have military protection from the United States. They are pacifists, so they will not defend themselves, and will soon go extinct. It is only the charitable military protection by others that keeps such darwinian inferiors in the gene pool. Without military protection, they will quickly be conquered, killed, and enslaved by anyone and everyone.\n\n...heh, look at the hippies' replies. They can not counter your arguments; they can only insult you.

"You're from the sixties.\n\nWell, yes.\n\nBack, back with you!  There is no place for you here"\n\n\nThe era associated with the sixties essentially ended when the Vietnam War ended and the hippies became yuppies.

Yes actually, in this very country. There are very few instances of it, but the fed. government has set up reservation-like areas for Practioners Of Old Principles And Religions, or P.O.O.P.A.R. You typically find these areas in sparsely habited or states that nobody wants to be in, such as Kansas, Nebraska and northern Nevada.

Yes, punks do exist.  Brilliant question.

Now now, you don't want to go slamming on Bigfoot too hard.  There are a number of souvenir stands in Northern California to Southern Washington that depend on people believing in Bigfoot.  So what if its really just a bunch of naked nature worshipping hippies growing pot in the woods of Humboldt county?  It helps the local economy.  Not as much as the crop those hippies are growing, but when the logging industry is clear-cutting the forest until loggers are out of work, well, every little bit helps!

The differnece between a chav in 2006 and a hippy in 1966 is that the hippy's really tried to change the world for the better. They failed but at least they tried.\n\nThe chavs are not trying to change the world. They are just trying to make it worse. Chavs are not trying to form a revolution.\n\nThe hippys were mainly middle class and chavs are working class.\n\nThe hippys were mainly well educated but the chavs are not.

The ideals that inspired the hippies (though born more in the sixties and carried over to the seventies) cannot be confined to a decade. There is a hippy movement in America right now though less visible. It is carried on by those inspired by their ideals. Styles are modified and updated to suit the times but the movement lives on.
