didn't we have a discussion once about how the "hippies" with their lack of 
ideas, etc. was a construction of the mass media, in particular it started 
with a Time or Newsweek article?

Yes, why yes, we did. Michael Smith mentioned it as a media construction 
and you confirmed it. Doug posted the actual article to the list and 
thought it hilarious.
