I was 18 in 1967. It won’t be like that again unless they bring back the draft.
In 1967 we had been in Vietnam for two years & people complained about the protracted struggle in S.E. Asia.
That summer the hippie counterculture was emerging. The Pill was already blamed for the sexual revolution.
Race riots in many cities, so a sitting President wanted Federal gun registration & licensing of owners.
No intergenerational blamefare. There were Boomers & only Boomers. Millions tuned in, turned on, & dropped it. Millions of others answered their country’s call and served.
Mainline churches were dissolving into squishy relativism. Nothing new there.
In my opinion what most separates today’s world from that of 1967 is the information revolution. No more gospel according to Walter Cronkite. Go online and search for knowledge. For now, at least, seek and ye shall find.
All that being said, I wouldn’t want to be a young person now.
“All that being said, I wouldn’t want to be a young person now.”
My kids are in their late 20’s, early 30’s and are disgusted with their own generation.
