Hello everybody! I have always been fascinated by the hippy way: independence, freedom, love, peace, respect, etc. Lots of values and ideas I accept for myself. Although I don't make a special effort to be (act) "hippy", some people call me that (in a friendly, complimenting manner). Some time ago, I found these forums on the internet. And now, as there might be some discussions I thought I'd join, I eventually signed up here. It looks like an interesting place, and mostly friendly and open. I am looking forward to sharing some ideas and opinions... Love, e.
