Speaking of hippies, I usually don't engage family members who perceive me as "being on the other side" (pretty much all of them), but the other day, my rabid GOoPy BIL made a reference to "all those hippie liberals collecting entitlements."

Say what? Since he is slightly older than I, I asked him if he thought the hippies of our early years (the 70's) were liberals. Of course he agreed.

I reminded him how they despised any government influence whatsoever in their lives then asked him how that made them liberals.

It was the end of the "discussion."

After I reminded him his non-response has aided the loss of an entire generation.
