They lay around and sleep. Around 15 to an apartment. Do drugs, like heroin, and go dumpster diving when they get hungry. Some of the women have jobs for beer money. Dont let your sister go with them. No matter how awesome she thinks they are.
Some clean an laundry for others to make a buck, some donate lot of time doing odd jobs for bite to eat, some even take what others throw out an make something good of it to sell or trade.... etc. I knew of one who swept/ shoveled, parking lots for food.
Then some find objects to make music with (like drumming) an circle around some peaceful place an share food.. shelter...for those in need.
we cant forget that rainbow is fulltime. it doesnt end when we leave the national forest. we gotta keep on bringing this back to our communities. each one teach one. feed people and remind those that may have forgotten about brotherly love. network and learn/teach about living with nature.
Hmmm. Some are lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, journalists, chefs, musicians, retail slaves, fast food/restaurant cooks, artists, surveyors, ranch and farmhands....
Some don't smoke marijuana. Some help @ gatherings, some don't help much @ all. These folks r known as bliss-ninnies, & other terms. But many r accepted, as some bliss-ninnies @least provide entertainment. Some not even that & maybe they serve a purpose too in setting an example of how not to be. I've even heard rumors that forest rangers have quit & gone rainbow. I've heard rangers have joined in dumcircles, &/or councils. 4 that matter i've he ard cops have helped in kitchens. I've smoked with cops before, under certain conditions, in neutral territory, revealing nothing. It's not unheard of. Ppl 4get or never really learned or even cared to that many hippies started out frm upper missle class.
This whole business had 2 start somewhere it didn't just spring into existence back in woodstock as some would believe. Hippiedom was relatively well-established by the time woodstock came along. & mostly hippies r evolved partly from beatnicks. Which in turn partly evolved from a loosely defined group called bohemia. There may have even been cave hippies. Wow man i don't feel like hunting today. Let's just go pick some fruit or some other relativelly benign food. Wow man i'm still alive, cool i don't hafta hunt certain animals to extinction.
Ofcourse many speculate now that cave people may not have been the first humans. People may have more advanced than was once thought. & perhaps people were originally breatharian, vegan, vegtarian,, omnivorian, then vegetarian, vegan, breatharian again. Originally what we think of as modern people, may have been a sorta hippie who may not have even n"needed" or wanted drugs.
