Does the hippie movement have a specific place they consider their homeland? I thought they just sucked up anything remotely spiritual from buddhism and hiduism through a cloud of weed.

I dunno, I am now considering doing my paper on the metaphor of the fulfilled life as seen through modern western literature/hollywood. You know, man is born, man leaves home to fight in war, man finds honor through war, man marries his true love, man dies having climbed a mountain, etc.
Look up stuff on the Rainbow Gathering. It's a festival/TAZ with a strong theme of "welcome home" and at every one there is the promise to make the commune thing permanent next time though none of them really believe it any more than the promise every Passover that there will be peace in Jerusalem next year.
