A hippie…
- often identifies himself as something other than his occupation. (Instead of "I'm an insurance salesman" or "I'm a cook", he will often say "I'm a guitar player" or "I'm an artist", even if he makes his living as a cook.)
- avoids violence. Believes that problems can be settled through negotiation, even if it means making compromises.
- will often have the longest hair in the room. (This applies to both men and women.)
- is not greedy. Will usually attain a comfortable living, and then abandon the race for more material wealth.
- believes that the wealth generated by society should be distributed more equitably.
- believes in equal opportunity for minorities, women, handicapped, gays/lesbians, etc.
- believes in civil rights.
- is often a marijuana smoker.
- believes that our rights should not be infringed upon until they interfere with the rights of others.
- often has an inclination towards the arts…particularly music. Usually has good musical taste, and often some musical ability.
- respects the beliefs of others.
- lives a modest, humble lifestyle.
