What exactly is a hippy?

Well the time has come my friend. I cant put it off any further.
Here are some of these answers you have been thinking on.

Look first into several important places and then...I will add to these posts.

http://www.stephengaskin.com/cannabis.html

http://www.hippyshop.com

http://www.woodstock69.com/

other possible words and terms to google:

alternative living
intentional communities
nudists
hippys
beatnicks
environmental movement
environmental awareness

urantia community

I have to add alternative press....
the grateful dead followers
and the beat press
of course there is so much more to add but this is a whole lot to look into...i suggest you begin with a step into the stephengaskin link first and read up on what he has to say about enlightenment there.
See AN EXCERPT: ENLIGHTENMENT on the first page there to the right of the page.
It will be a good place to start.
This man has been a guru of sorts to many people who formed the hippy movement. i have been to the farm as a child, and listened to him speak with many hundreds of followers or listeners, in a large barn, i was ten or elevin at that time.

Oh well you wont be held hostage ( maybe for good reason) forever!
Be sure you dont mind naked people running all around !
I have never been to burning man festival , but may go to see what it is like someday.. as an artist I almost feel obligated to go.
