Modern day hippies

These people drive me completely crazy. Obviously, we have glorified the images of hippies from the 70s, perhaps fairly or perhaps not, but these cooky modern-day hippies should retreat back into the slime from which they were spawned. New York is crawling with them. They are dirty, smelly, unwashed, dreadlock and hemp wearing weirdos. They ride bikes and eat out of trash cans, proclaiming that Americans are evil for throwing out enough food to feed all the hungry in the world. They play bongo drums and sit in doorways, begging for money. But if they love the environment so much, why are they spending time in NYC??? It's a metropolis. You should be living in a shack on Walden pond, right? that would make sense. Self sufficiency is ACTUALLY natural. Not sitting and begging for money.



And you know what REALLY pisses me off? They all have cell phones. And usually Ipods. Don't talk about evil American consumerism and waste, pretending to promote "Nature" and earthliness, and then CHAT on a cell phone! Live it or don't, I don't care, but stop with the hypocrisy. I will NEVER give money to the travelling hippie who wants to pay a cell phone bill. Puh-lease. Nature or technology, take your pick. Being Natural requires hard labor, being technological requires a stable job that pays money. PICK ONE. And leave me alone.
