America is on the verge of another epidemic. There has been an increasing number in the hippie population, and to help keep this from turning into too big of a problem, here is what you need to know about hippies.

A common misconception about hippies is that they're harmless, but on the contrary, they are highly dangerous. If bitten by a hippie, seek immediate medical attention, in order to prevent becoming one of them. Hippies are parasites, and must be exterminated as such. Hippies may be disposed of in the same simple means as most organisms. However, a hippie may not always be killed by poisoning. Their constant drug use has made them almost completely immune to most poisons. Hippies live on drugs, bad music, and playing their bad music at 'war protests'.

Hippie characteristics:
1. Long, unkempt hair, often worn with beads and ugly hats
2. Constant drug use
3. A persistent use of the words 'man' and 'dude'
4. Peace signs on their clothing, and sometimes tattooed onto their skin
5. An overpowering odor, usually a mix between marijuana, sweat, and urine
6. May be mistaken for a hobo
