   PIH, Ash.

   from various sources; sorry if i was unclear in the use of the term:

   "hippie, hippy:"

   – any of the young people of the 1960s who, in their alienation from conventional society, have turned vaiously to mysticism, psychedelic drugs, communal living, avant-garde arts, or Ashvegas politics.

   – someone who rejects the established culture; advocates extreme liberalism in politics and lifestyle:

   – though not a cohesive cultural movement with manifestos and leaders, some hippies expressed their desire for change with communal or nomadic lifestyles, by renouncing corporate influence, consumerism and the Vietnam War, by embracing aspects of non-Judeo-Christian religious cultures (including much Eastern philosophy), and with criticism of Western middle class values.

   Such criticism included the views that the government was paternalistic, corporate industry was greedy and domineering, traditional morals were askew, and war was inhumane. The structures and institutions they rejected came to be called The Establishment.

   Hippies of the time were interested in "tuning in to their inner minds" (with or without drugs, mystic meditation) and improving mainstream society. Today, i think they’ve turned to Starbucks and organic chocolate.

   – of or having ample hips, like Edgy Mama

   Carl was the no vote and then the first to stand up and clap when she was elected. Go figure. I’d like to have Ash define for us the term "hippy."

   You go Edgy Mama! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who finds it childish and petty that the Mumps cast a "nay" vote against Holly Jones for what is a pretty trivial position. It is one thing to vote against Freeborn who will now have a vote on Council and another thing to vote against Jones for a ceremonial position. Why start off with a new Council being contrary? The Mumps has sent his message loud and clear. He will continue be the biggest whiner on Council. Not that this is unprecedented or anything, but now with Joe Dunn gone he’s got that right plank virtually all to himself.

   While on the topic of Council, does anyone else find it very amusing that so many of the same people who say that Freeborn should not be appointed to the vacant seat because he has displayed that he was "irresponsible" with his street mural and subsequent ticket had no problem voting for the Mumps who bought crack at one of the housing projects? Where was his "fine?"

   O, get down off your high horse. Notice that we voted in three women? Girls rock.

   What’s Carl’s point in not joining his colleagues to appoint Holly? Why start off with a new council being contrary?

   Go ahead and pout for us, Carl.
