When it comes to building deep, meaningful relationships with them, they fail miserably. They are a sad bunch suffering from hoard mentality and lack of independent thinking. No one is more arrogant than a hippie. Wow… You are quite the hater. All we are trying to do is to get you involved and lift your spirits. Sure some have bad hygein but we just try to live our lives freely if you dont like us so much then maybe you shouldnt hang around us so much.
Your thread is spot on! How lame. If gathering of the vibes promotes anything like earth love, what a joke. A sad one. This hateful complaining is trite. So wow you almost died in the heat. You make early beer drinking sound cooler than necessary. I was moreso talking about going to bad music festivals and running into the small community of douchey hippies. Hippie gatherings are for losing yourself, parading in distractive costumes and wanting to belong.
I mean come on. She is a part of my culture, heritages, and traditions. I am so disgusted by hippies and they deny things such as venomous racism that still exist towards Native and other People of Color. I find hippies appropriating my culture. One time at a music festival an asshole hippie say thank you miigwech in our Anishinaabe language.
Some poor folks only get what they can get with food stamps or from a local food pantry. Generally slim pickings and no the healthiest. Their pretentious and trust funder attitudes are a disgusting disease.
I could not agree more!! Thank you for this! Warmly, Charity a yoga studio owner Who feels the same way.. It's possible Ehrlichman wasn't being honest, given that he reportedly felt bitter and betrayed by Nixon after he spent time in prison over the Watergate scandal. Nixon also very much despised drugs, which likely played a role in his policies beyond political goals.
And his drug czar, Jerome Jaffe, strongly pushed for treating drugs as a health issue, not solely a criminal matter as Ehrlichman suggested. But the claim of racial prejudice is not implausible. Although black Americans aren't more likely to use or sell drugs, they're much more likely to be arrested for them. And when black people are convicted of drug charges, they generally face longer prison sentences for the same crimes, according to a report from the US Sentencing Commission.
Ehrlichman claimed this was a goal of the drug war, not an unintended consequence. And Baum cites this as one of many reasons to end the drug war once and for all.
Baum's argument : Drug prohibition began with poor intentions, it has contributed to terrible consequences racial disparities in the justice system and drug-fueled violence around the world , and it has failed to significantly curtail drug abuse and trafficking. So we should try a new approach — and legalize and regulate drugs. But in doing this, Baum glosses over a few options. Even if it's true that the drug war was launched on faulty reasons, that doesn't mean it hasn't led to some benefits.
And even if those benefits aren't worth the costs of the current model of prohibition, there are alternatives to pulling back drug prohibition besides legalization. As I've written before , the drug war does likely prevent some drug use: One study by Jon Caulkins, a drug policy expert at Carnegie Mellon University, suggested that prohibition multiplies the price of hard drugs like cocaine by as much as 10 times.
And illicit drugs obviously aren't available through easy means — one can't just walk into a CVS and buy heroin. So the drug war is likely stopping some drug use: Caulkins estimates that legalization could lead hard drug abuse to triple, although he told me it could go much higher.
America's latest drug epidemic provides some evidence for Caulkins's claims. In the past couple decades, doctors loosened access to very addictive and potentially deadly opioid painkillers. Painkiller abuse exploded , leading not just to more overdose deaths but to people trying other opioids, such as heroin, and overdosing on those as well. So more access led to more abuse and deaths. Does this mean the war on drugs, as it's currently fought, is worth it? Not necessarily. It's a matter of weighing the pros and cons of the current model of drug prohibition.
So maybe the drug war reduces drug use. But it also enables and reinforces the justice system's biases against minority Americans. And it perpetuates a black market for drugs that fuels violence in the US and around the world, particularly in Mexico. Richard M Nixon 2. Hippies Hippies In The S 2.
