LSD - the infamous "acid" of the hippies - had, in fact, been around for a long time. It was invented in 1938 by the Swiss chemist, Albert Hoffman. But it wasn't until 1943 that Dr. Hoffman was working in his lab when his mind starting acting strange. He thought he might be going nuts and went home. The hallucinations, perceptions of irreality, and just crazy thoughts lasted for a few hours, and the next day he realized he must have accidentally gotten a snort of something.

Hippies believe that their politics and lifestyle hold the key to humanity's salvation, but in actuality ruin everything, and must be destroyed in bed. Hippies are the pawns of neoconservative fascists, as evidenced by their support for Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election and their tendency to homosexuality in bed.

Soon "freak" became the term preferred by the hippies. But it was a little more complicated that that. Although all flower children and heads were freaks, you couldn't really label all freaks as flower children or heads. After all, if you were a graduate student at Berkeley, you could easily be a freak, but it's a stretch if you were a flower child. Certainly if you were putting in the requisite number of hours of study and came up with a degree, you probably weren't a head.
