Herbert Marcuse, who remained here, saw the 60s student rebellion as the great chance.

Some like to blame the boomers and the sixties for all the ills that wormed their way into US society since that time. But this article correctly points out that the Marxist/communist/socialist, or whatever sickness had its origins between the world wars, and that the 'leaders' during the sixties, years older that the boomers, were already in place and ready to take advantage of the opportunities presented by those turbulent years.

And the protesters and hippies were never the brave young moralists they've claimed to be, but were a gang of self-absorbed, spoiled and petty kids whose behavior in those years led to all sorts of disasters both in the US and for the people of Southeast Asia. They were the willing tools and dupes of those leftist extremists who'd been waiting for the right opportunity to cause harm to the US, and to advance their leftist causes.

I remember when I was in a meeting in Sacramento and someone was talking about Afro-Americans (the precursor to African Americans). They were really referring to people of the negroid race. This became obvious to all when the guy who worked across the hall from me said he was Afro-American.

He was born in Ethiopia of Italian parents who stayed after the war. At the time he was the only one I knew of in our agency who was born in Africa. Unfortunately he was argued down by those who had darker skin. He claimed Afro, then African American til he retired and the rest of us supported him.

My next early PC experience was in sexual harassment "training."
