Ah Yes, The sixties.

I was a teen in the sixties and it is my belief that if all of the laws and so-called rights of today were enforced back then, the entire decade would have come to a screeching halt!

If anyone today gets offended, the entire country is forced to change it's horrible offending ways.

There was a famous quote made by the famous philosopher Mr. Spock (and no I am not a trekie) in the movie "The Wrath of Khan" that went something like: "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few," which I have found throughout the years following that this simple statement of logic and wisdom actually holds true in life. However in todays self aggrandizing world it has actually been reversed and has pretty much become the law of the land in as much as it seems that all that matters today is that "The needs of the few, Outweigh the needs of the many."

Oh what a broken world we live in.

"The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few,"

I think Karl Marx made an almost identical statement.
