“Hippies were just another symptom, not the cause.

You mean to say, that given human nature, if a highly affluent, generous, and orderly society happens to have large numbers of children, this sort of thing is likely to happen?

Nobody every asks the obvious: where have hippies and this entire ME generation come from?

The truth is, it is the "Greatest," most materialistic generation, that has brought them up. That's who the real culprit is.
