I never could answer the accusation that "you know what you are against, but what are you FOR?" because anyone who asked that question wouldn't understand my answer if I told them. 1) Those people could never tell the various parts of the counter-culture apart. You mixed up hippies with the student activists. We were different. 2) Hippies lived the LIFE that showed what we were for. If you weren't so attached to what the mainstream media told you about us ("It's sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll"), you would have known that that was a deliberate, successful attempt to marginalize and demonize us. 3) The way it was phrased was a cowardly attack, concealed as a "question," and I don't like to respond to my enemies at all. I stopped engaging in shouting matches at that time, and any engagement would have led to more accusations and a shouting match. 4) You see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear. If you had ever asked a true question about what we believed, in a humble way, we would have been glad to have told you. 5) We were FOR a lot of things, many of which have worked their way into the mainstream culture.
