Excellent article—too bad there are not more with this theme. When the counter-culture is not challenged, it becomes engrained.
That sales guy could have subsequently re-thought his lunacy—he just hadn’t been challenged before (a culture of herd nerds). Action...action...action...
What “counter-culture”?
It’s like when the big name rock acts try to usurp labels like “alternative”. To what? REAL rock artists who are writing and recording new albums today?
They are the mainstream.
The “counter-culture” of days old became the NEW establishment. Clinton, Kerry, and Obama ALL protested against government and now that they are charge seek to stifle all dissent.
