I Am a Lefty
The original hippies were politically lefty.
That's because it was a progressive movement and students and other thinking people latched onto that stuff early in the game. By that stuff I mean political and artistic freedom without causing harm to anyone or anything...and the pursuit of joy and personal uplift without harming oneself and the pursuit of a holistic and holy approach to life and spirituality.
Then many others copied the external features and colors and it wasn't progressive anymore.
