    What happened during the sixties was a gross abuse of 
idealism; the mistaking of idealism for wisdom by a bunch 
of young people who were still being mentally potty trained.
    The activists back then recognized some of the ills of 
American society and they decided to do something about it  
-- outside the system.  They tried to fix what they thought 
was a bad situation -- and they made it worse.
    They never realized that they were pawns.
