Why is it an insult nowadays to be called a hippy? A friend of ours called us "the hippy parents" and I think it's true in some ways. Is the implication here that hippies moan about things but don't actually do anything? I don't think that's the case.

My sinus problems always eased up when I've been on holiday to countrified places. They've been worst when I've lived in suburbia. No coincidence there. Have to keep dreaming about that cottage by a mountain in Scotland.
