Oregon is at it !!!!

I haven't seen a Hippie in decades, ok maybe one or two, but yeah that statement is pretty out of touch. IMO the libtards are definitely not hippies, they are their own animal.

Used to be... Hippie central now.

Hippies??? We wish. Now it is infested with psychotic meth heads and lazy ass pot heads. It is the epitome of a welfare state run by a bunch of sexual deviants.

Like Boulder Colorado, the hippies have aged. Their BS not so much.

The hippies didnt get into other people's business..and to the contrary they just wanted to be away from everyone on a commune, self provide and eat organic hallucinogenic mushrooms. I wish they were our problem in 2026.

A late friend used to call Old Hippies, “Check Book Hippies”…
Older now, with money… At least some of them.

Hmmm...maybe I misjudge but seems to me at a base line the hippie and the current mob have a similar gene. Mad at any law. Demanding that everyone go along with their BS. Unwilling to do any work. Unwilling to make any real sacrifice or to serve. Full of bad ideas they call enlightenment. Ready to mock every form of societal standard or steadiness that actually permits and allows thier "freedom" to mock, while providing no real skin in the game and no productive input into society. Demanding that social norms built on wisdom and truth be disavowed by everyone, or suffer being "uncool" or now, "fascist". So maybe the left has mutated into what our father's despised back then? Or maybe dad was right....

Just observing.

Yeah besides all the communes and nudist camps I remember encountering as a child while my friends and I were growing up rural and wandering all over, your comment brings these folks to mind.

"Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is elegant, expensive, and internationally revered… but its roots are very much countercultural."

I'm sure a lot of folks called many of them Hippies and today likely wish they had the same forethought and fortitude as those early souls who are now quite wealthy. Anyone not aware, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has beat out Europeans at their own game multiple years now, taking the #1 wine.

Back on topic, for those that didn't see the proceedings the OSSA was nice enough to share a link. I actually started at 1:35 and watched the balance of the meeting and it was definitely worth my time. Lots of folks speaking against HB4145 and some excellent points made.

scroll forward to the following time segment. 1:35:00 – 1:53:00 It’s well worth the watch…

What the non-Oregonians on this thread need to be aware of is that a few years back the state legalized the possession of personal use meth and opiates. Ie a dirtbag could walk up to a cop holding a syringe full of heroin and the cop could do nothing. Of course this turned Oregon into a magnet for drug addicts nationwide.
And then a couple of years later the state re-criminalized the possession of hard drugs, but not really. Now all the cops can do is take it away and issue a ticket, which will never be paid, and so most dont even bother to write it up.
Also, as part of the law change there is no bail for anything other than violent crimes. ie you catch a burglar in your house and hog tie him. The cop will arrest him, take him to booking to issue a court date and then open the back door to let him go. The perp will never go to court and the system is too over loaded to follow up.
And the icing for that revised law is that firearms now fall under the 'property section' so if a dirtbag is caught with an illegal gun then they will take his gun and give him the same treatment as if he were a burglar.
I got this above right out of my local Sgt Sheriff's mouth just before I sold my house and GTF out!!
