And I long for the day when the Prime Minister and the Village Idiot are not the same person.

@SatyrService Hippy was a nickname given too me by a very good friend that passed away about 6 years ago. I had just resigned my commission in the Canadian Armed Forces and got an earring put in. This was before it was popular for men to wear earrings. My buddy called me a hippy for wearing it and the name stuck.
@hippyjoe1955 ah! I see.. things like the earring are more accepted one place over the other.
in parts of the western US it has become more common, and acceptable.

thanks for the answer, and getting that I really meant it!

@SatyrService Yes this was in the early 80s. I was one of the few men I knew that had a ring in his ear. I can only think of one other who got his put in while he was in the Navy.
@hippyjoe1955ahhhh the early 80s! yeah that was right edgy back then.
it is so hard now. to be edgy..
everything goes from new,, thru hip and to blase in about 3 weeks!
