Gosh Glen,
It isn't enough that the people of Royal Gardens lost their homes to the lava, but they have to be called vermin too. What a really nice guy.
What is it with the random gratuitous slams on hippies on this forum? Hippies have been part of the culture of Puna for a long time, even before most of you hippie slammers had even heard of Puna. Why did you move here if you have so little regard for so many of your new neighbors? Most of the "hippies" I've met have been kind, generous, and peaceful people who are trying to live a simple low impact lifestyle. Not all of them have much idea on how to do that, but most people in our society don't know how to live off the land properly.
I do know that when I was stuck in pouring rain on the side of the road with two little kids, a flat tire and a flat spare, it sure wasn't the guy driving the shiny SUV with the W'04 sticker who stopped and helped me. It was the slightly unwashed, long haired guy driving the beater truck who took off my flat, drove 15 miles each way to get it fixed and put it back on my car. He wouldn't even take gas money either!
So maybe we could close the season on "hippies" instead of taking pot shots at a group of people who have been in Puna for longer than most of us.
