If the Hippies helped influence many of the social reforms that have occurred in the past forty years, does this mean that in 40 years, we will have receded back into a reactionary state of formality and conservatism.
I obviously can't tell what the future holds, but I can make hypothesis from the past. Hippies are remembered for more than their great music and excessive drug use. They also dramatically changed American society. They helped with Civil Rights battles and marched for Vietnam.
How would our modern society differ without them, I can't know for sure but I'm willing to guess it would be far more conservative.
What do the tea partiers stand for? I don't know exactly. Do they stand just for smaller government or will we be seeing constitutional bans on abortion and gay marriage. I guess only time will tell, but tell me what you think the Tea Party stands for and how they will effect America. Because, one thing is for sure, they aren't going anywhere.
