HIPPIE'S VS POLITICAL GROUPS

One of historys most missunderstood times was the hippie culture centered
in San Fransisco and the radical political groups that mostly sprang up from
university campus's.Most people fail to see that these were two totally differant
groups of people.The hippie movement was totally non-political-they hated
radical political groups like the SDS and the weather underground.(so much
for tolarance} they wanted nothing more than for them to completely disappear
which they eventually they did{some of them hid from the law for 20 or thirty years}
The change the hippies wanted came from inside-not unlike a religion.The political
groups wanted change from and on the outside-political change.This was a major
differance which literally put the groups at war with each other.They were
never in agreement on even one single issue.By the end of the sixties the
hippies grew up and eventually became yuppies.The radical political groups
had -shall we say-a more difficult time.
