Hippies Crying And Sobbing And Wailing Over A Dead Tree

When I was a little whiny girl, every time I saw a dead squirrel on the road I would burst into tears of mourning and sob for entire minutes. But even dumb little kid me never went so far as to hold a funeral for a dead tree, like these hippies (be sure to watch 'til the end):

Liberal or conservative, we can all agree that if that is real it's ridiculous. Ah, hippies. They teach us so much about patience. (Thanks to Darci for the tip!)

Holy crap.

This is not simply a group of hippies. This is a cult of insanity.

that frustrates me so much.
it's like people showing up at every freaking protest with creepy papier-mache puppet heads, or the ubiquitous 'free mumia' people at every rally for everything.
it's just making us far-lefties look like fucking knuckleheads.

On the other hand, the foolishness of papier-mache puppets is towards the lesser end of the spectrum of potential evils. As long as there is a right wing doing actual damage in the real world, I don't see why the hippies shouldn't yell at their trees if that's what they want.

obvs, tps12.
there is a vast difference between super sad/embarrassing and completely evil/ endangering the entire human race.

You're making it sound like something not cool... Not hippified.
