1970. California. By... Ronald Reagan. Sad, huh?

The idea originated in the bolshevik revolution to serve the goal of “ free love” and the dissolution of the bourgeois institution of the family.

I remember that poster from my childhood. I was joshing up a bit. We had a barber shop in the town where I grew up. One chair, long wait but that's what it was for, a place for the men to catch up.

Everybody needs to be a hard ass these days. People don't smile. Looking to be "diss" or "diss-rispetted".

Thanks for the info. It started with the Bolsheviks, eh? Its what one would expect.

Though Republican in 1970, Reagan must not have thrown off his former Democrat wrongheaded thinking at that time. Maybe he hadn’t matured in his conservatism.

People don’t seek answers to spiritual question in wishy-washy theology.

All that came about in 1965 are the consequences of our nation's society being radically transformed to fight for life or death in a world war, losing a very large number of young males in that war and the war transformed attitudes and beliefs of the survivors who came home to raise families in the peace that followed.

The war effort forced necessary long overdue changes in American beliefs, attitudes and practices regarding race and the roles of women.

After the war, for those two issues, there was no going back to what was before, no putting those genies back in their bottles.

Unfortunately, old ways die hard and in the 1960s we lit the candle of our politically prolonged, long winded, second civil war.

Ancient wisdom says, "United we stand; divided we fall." Our ideological enemies have taken advantage of our genie problems and stirred the many fires here ignited by that war candle.

After all these years since the 1960s, they have lit so many candles, here and elsewhere that we now have a "Global Warming" crisis and carbon taxes for the world to make it all better!

Bruce Jenner's recent fundamental transformation seems like a mirror of our own national fundamental transformation.

Too many things in our world have fallen below my threshold for comprehension and understanding and now I'm just along for the ride.

For me, there is a point when Mongo logic the only thing that makes sense and we have come to that point:

This article can take the wind right out of your sails. I feel Reagan got this and tried to slow it / reverse it. IMHO at this point, It can't happen without a tipping point in our favor, fiscally, culturally, and spiritually.

I would have said the year was 62' not 65', but 65 was worse.

It is not a mystery to me anymore why I am enamored with music from the early 60's, they were our Halcyon days, sadly we are downhill here even more I fear...

I am still waiting for one of our "leaders" to come up with a retort to "The Naked Communist" and mean it and go at it full throttle...
