Wasn't it so much cooler and better when beatnik hippies had their niche in our uptight American society (1950s-90s) INSTEAD of now when they run the dam place??? Make your unpasteurized goat yoghurt, smoke some weed, and make a macrame hanger out of your unbathed woman's armpit hair dude--now that's groovy!

My how times change. At least in California, now the pot is legal. I'm speculating, but it might even be a crime to raise goats or make yougurt without permits. Certainly they'd be needed to sell any. And the pubic hair macrame jobs were shipped to cheap labor countries decdades ago. I know that over long periods, norms and other values change. That's just part of the "progress" of civilization. But speaking metaphorically, you can only go down the rabbit hole so far. What happens when the rabbit turns into the hole?
