I don't know where to start. The 60's didn't start for me until 1965 when I was eighteen, and I was totally taken in by the whole cultural,political, music, and drug thing. That means I had eighteen years of a solid upbringing. I had a great foundation, even though I bought into the above mentioned ideas. It was a new day. There were no rules. Everything was ok. The article is dead on about Viet Nam protests, and the protest stopped when the draft stopped.. It was all about being selfish baby boomers. The first time in history that young men en masse refused to serve. Quite something to be proud of. It is my opinion that my generation is responsible for maybe ruining the country, and I have spent twenty years trying to atone for my part. That is one of the reasons I FReep. Oh, by the way, I came to my senses about the time The Gipper rode into town, because like your parents, my early upbringing begin to surface.
