I grew up in the '60s. I met Tom Hayden. I thought he was intolerant and self-righteous. But the author of this article has the same faults and is stupid as well. A simple example

David Crosby in recent times had been looking for a liver donor . You see , the lost and fallen man destroyed his liver with alchoholism . Maybe this would not have happened had he left the 50's alone.

Alcolholism is the fault of '60s ideology? How ignorant can you be? The rest of the article is no better.

I know. That struck me also as ideological overkill. Nuff to be said against the 60's without going overboard. And there is clearly nothing the went on in the 60's that isn't still going on today, along with the addition of gangsta rap, rave parties and professional hit-and-run terrorists of all stripes.

In the 60's, you got busted for having a strobe light in your dorm room and burning incense. The vast majority of the college campus protests in the 60's were not about Vietnam, but about things like student fees and dorm hours being too strict. I truly wish some of these 'true blue' conservatives would stop mindless rants against 'hippies' (whatever that perjorative terms is meant to designate) and realize that the blame for what is wrong with America can be spread a little wider than that.

-- ex-'hippie', now a well-recovered Republican

Fault of '60s ideology, no.

Indulgence of the '60s ideology, yes.

Human behaviors were thought to have no consequences. Time taught otherwise.
