Question by 5koalas: How many of you think the Hippie Counterculture was productive to our nation?

One of the required books is “The Hippies and American Values,” and this book focuses on the ethics of hippies and why this was important to our culture. So I’m just interested, how many people agree with this stand point, how many disagree, and add anything you want.
