the original hippy is not the same as hippie today. The word hippie back in the day dealt more with how you looked than how you acted. Today it's more about how you act than how you look.

I really think that's what it means. Wookies are people with thick hair on their heads, legs, arms, (beards for guys).
I was under the impression that a wook was just a really furry hippie. Like a wookie.
Ok, dolphins, I get. Dolphns are the only other animal known to man that is so self aware it thinks about suicide.
The reason that they kick you out of dolphin shows so fast is not to clean the staging area for the next show. It's because the dolphins have atendencyto beach themselves in anattemptto kill themselves out of misery (watch "the cove"). I won't support those shows for that reason, but as for other zoo animals... It depends. I believe wholeheartedlyin saving endangered species. There's really not a whole lot we can do to restore the habitats to what they used to be. (coming from the guy who wants to preserve swamps). We can preserve what's there now, and in small chunks fix the problem, but if the human population is going to keep rising (and it's believed that it will hit 10 billion before we see our limit, there's only so much we can do.
And if we are saving them, why not let people be able to visit and see a polar bear that they'd never see other wise? Plus, it's a great way for zoologists to study animals instead of having to go out into the wild and spend days, weeks, or months hoping to find what they are looking for. If we didn't have bats in zoos, we might not understand WNS as well as we do now
you sound like a hippie to me, but then again, nowadays hippie is a pretty broad term.
I get no circus's, but why no zoos or aquariums? There's no other way to preserve some of the worlds endangered species. Are you an advocate of "if it dies out, it was meant to"? I know it's not ideal conditions for animals, but most of their natural habitats are either gone completely or too small or chopped up to let many survive.
I totally agree with you on "experiences instead of things. My girlfriend is a photographer in her spare time. All of the pics on my page are hers. We don't buy little nick nacks from anywhere we go. We take pictures and walk away with the memories
nice.
Of course I know where it's at. I thought one of my pics was taken there. It's probably on my girlfriends flikr page. But yeah, been there a few times.
I knew what a kora was. I know a bunch ofrandominstruments. If you'reinterestedin them, you'd love me basement.
If I had the time to learn it, I'd bring my hammer dulcimer
If I go with my normal group, we'll actually have a big enough van for us all to take our instruments. Normally we can only fit my room mates guitar, my djembe, and my girlfriends mandolin. Now I'll be able to choose between my drum, bass, didje, or uke, and my girlfriend will be able to bring her guitar
