Generalizing is not always good. Many of the things than happened in the 60’s had nothing to do with Boomers who were in their teens for instance.

I can think of so many radicals that were already in their 30’s during the hedonistic, drug-hazed 60’s (Kerouac, Leary, etc.) Even Bill Ayers, who has dominated the news so much of late was born in 1944. I was always of the understanding that the boom was post WWII and that would mean 1945 and on so even he missed it by a bit.

Frankly, as a college student at age 50 I see so much scarier stuff than anything, even the “tuning in, turning on and dropping out” crowd can’t hold a candle to these narcissistic kids who now worship at the altar of relativism and secularism.

Relativism and secularism are the product of the 60s cultural revolution (gone pop). It's all about liberation: from the taboos of the church, from any type of restraint or moral authority. The outcome is a relativism which sees all authority as culturally bound and equal in status or truth. There is no supreme authority above man. Hedonism and the selfish pursuit of the self are the rule of the day -- pursue your vices unimpeded.
