Don't know about you, but I'd take what we had in the 60s any day.

Of course, it could be argued that today's social pathologies you mentioned are a direct result of the permissive attitudes of the 1960s.

Of course, blame what is happening today on the 60s. Even though the 60s were completely innocent compared to the nightmarish violence of today.

I remember in the 50s and 60s people for the most part would punch each other senseless if push came to shove. Now? LOL! You got neighbors blowing each others brains out over stupid issues and minor disputes.

And don't even think of mouthing off to another driver today. It could very well escalate into a chase, ending brutal murder.

If you want to argue this then you must also acknowlege that most boomers were in grade school during the sixties and even the leading edge minority couldn't even vote until 1968. No boomers held elected office in the sixties. No boomers ran corporations or media in the sixties. Many boomers died in Viet Nam in the sixties.

This mess falls at the feet of pre-boomers and that my friend is your greatest generation.
