Solus,
I would say that's not a hippie.
If he his dog is chasing my horses because it needs to be free, that's a hippie.
When he tells my neighbor he can't burn leaves because it creates green house gases, he's a hippie.
When he gets upset because the coyotes eat his free range chickens but thinks we should just "relocate them," he's a hippie.
Same for the woodchuck that eats his organic herb garden.
When he thinks the energy in his hybrid sprang from unicorn farts and not a big TVA coal burning plant, he's a hippie.
When he is asking me to sign a petition to turn our county into sancuary city because they did it where he moved from and it was wonderful. Why did he move here then? It cost to much and the jobs went away. That's a hippie.
Like Charlie Daniels said, just leave the long haired country boys alone.
