Interresting . . .


. . . that "youth revolution" in those days meant young radicals overthrowing the old f a r t s and setting up something totally new and different. Nowadays (if current YA literature like "The Hunger Games" is any indication) it means a conservative revolt to bring back a bygone day when everyone was happy. The baby boomers aren't leaving a very good smell behind them, are they?

I do not understand the question. Too many thoughts in their head and the thoughts were 'tripping' over each other? Are they over 35 and drinking the water in a re education camp?

I can honestly say I did not like "hippie" nor "mod" not "hip" culture in the late 60s and early 70s. And when they got supplanted by the violent rock culture in the late 70s and 80s, things only got worse.

I'm all for ending bigotry, or at least putting everyone on equal footing under the law, but teenagers and university students who couldn't control themselves, haven't left a legacy of social reform. Reform was done by protesters, not by drug users.
