The Vanity of Hippies
Further to this, two things you may not know about Californian tree hippies.
They protest through the medium of dance:
They flatter themselves shamelessly:

They flatter themselves shamelessly:
I want a pair of Hippieskin(tm) sandals! And maybe a pair of Hippieskin(tm) gloves I can wear while I gleefully chop down trees.
Hippie nudity! Aargh! My eyes!
I don’t know what purpose you think posting these examples of fringe hippie weirdness serves. Other than forcing me to laugh out loud and return to your blog to see what you dig up next I don’t think you’re accomplishing much.
I’m fairly sure that there are more groups of people in the world than tree-sitters, squatters and anarchists, despite what the sign writer seems to think. Still, at least the spelling and grammar is a cut above average for this lot.
Fantastic dancing pic. It even features one of my favourite middle-class species – the white rasta.
The white rasta is sexually dimorphic. Male white rastas manage the unique feat of looking even whiter than they would with a normal hairstyle and mode of dress. Pretending to be a poor Jamaican only accentuates how non-poor and non-Jamaican the white rasta boy actually is.
Conversely, white rasta chicks have an appealing “I’ll definitely blow you for some weed” look, without going off the end into “there’s nothing too degrading for me to do if it’ll get me some heroin” territory.
Okay, imagine you’re in a jam. A serious jam. Who do you want watching your back? One of the police team risking life and limb to rescue some filthy hippies? Or a megaphone-brandishing tree-sitter called Dumpster Muffin?

Who you gonna call?
Or, to put it another way, suppose one of the hippies slipped and was hanging perilously from a branch and obviously about to fall. Does anyone doubt the police would try very hard to rescue that person, even at considerable personal risk? Now reverse that scenario. If one of the police team slipped during the rescue attempt and was hanging perilously, obviously about to fall, are we confident that our brave tree-sitters would try to save that person?
I don’t believe in your society maaan, I’m a free spirit maaaan, I’m fighting for the oppressed chlorophyl maaaan……..can you direct me to the nearest dole-office please?.I don’t have access to my trust-fund til I’m 21 maaan…
A very, very, very pale shade of 1938, a whiter shade of pale, paler than a white rasta.
Exactly. Though the comparison with 1938 does offer some insight into the extraordinary vanity of these unwashed Children of Gaia.
Extraordinary vanity and historical incontinence. They are a waste of oxygen.
Although the dude in the center with the hair cut seems to be there only for the blow job.
Good to see the old environmentally friendly designer ripped jeans and sneakers are still in fashion with the soap-less ones. Also- bare feet? Really?
The bad news:
“UC Berkeley estimates it spent more than $800,000 on police and other security measures during the 22 months sitters were up in the trees. The university spent $40,000 alone on the scaffolding that went up around the final tree during the last day of the protest this month.”
The good news:
“Berkeley’s infamous tree-sitters have been hit with a rude surprise since they came down to earth: Judges are socking them with thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees.”

Even if “they” had started with you, how much help do you think the tree-sitters, squatters, and anarchists are really going to be? “They” have useful things like guns and clubs. Tree-sitters have, well, buckets full of human excrement.
The progression “tree-sitter”, “squatter”, “anarchist” – is not exactly a friendly one.
What would the next term be? “Terrorist”? “Assassin”? “Axe-Murderer”?
