As I have pointed out in the past, I believe strongly that the Dr. Spock method of rearing children prevelant in the 50’s and 60’s is quite responsible for the increase in the sheer idiocy we face in our society today........
We are on the same page.
The phrase “Do your own thing, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone” did not disappear after the sixties. It took up residence and prospered in the “new culture”.
And the harm and misery that was heaped on others along the way—is beyond measure!
The point about Dr. Spock is that most people think I’m talking about StarTrek when I bring up the name, and are confused. If I thought enough people would be interested, I’d link some history.
