HORRIBLE HIPPIES

A MAJOR correction needs to be made to Ali Al Ahmad's letter to the (GDN 
June 23).

Yes, "hippies" did promote free love, immorality and drugs in the US from 
the 1960s and 1970s, and their actions disgust me as much as they do you.

However, your facts are incorrect. Today these "hippies" all belong to the 
Democratic Party, soon to be led by John Kerry.

Today's neo-cons, Republicans, and President George Bush are conservatives 
who are against the "hippies" immoral, anti-religious lifestyles.
