—>>>I can tell you why. The most publicized and/or influential ‘60s counter-culture kids were the children of the crop of the most influential constituents before them. They were bound to be in influential positions. It’s not all merit-based (”who you know”). The moral slide was gradual at first and not so much noticed, then accelerated. Notice what the moral slide has done to potential new competition (crushed scattered families, regulations, “free” trade, political correctness and so on).

Great comments and so agree. Thank you for sharing with me.

I will tell you that, when checking the names on school book receipts, a kid having the same last name as their parent was rare enough to make me comment to a colleague.
