That’s why I made it a point to show that the hippie segment of the boomer generation was a rather small segment of the population.
I do not know whether the History channel will repeat their recently aired biography of the counterculture, simply called, “Hippies,” but, it was very interesting. The Revolution began in earnest with the widespread use of LSD, with the uninhibited behavior lasting until the Charles Manson murders. You can look around today in our public life and see that some of the ring leaders are now in power over us. So, in my view the most despicable young generation succeeded in stealing everything their elders had sacrificed for over many generations. Who knows though..They could be the very ones to reap the whirlwind they created before all this is over.
