I understand that Victor but there is a mystique taht Woodstock was the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius". It wasn't,

Moral relativism was born on the campus' of America's Universities where it remains an insidious disease out of control until this day.

Oh yeah, I had a good time but to tell you the truth I had a better time at Willie Nelson's picnic down near Austin.

You are right, my friend. I remember the "Age of Aquarius" thing getting prominence in the mid-sixties, straight out of Haight-Ashbury (San Francisco). False gods, bad consequences. I used to think it was cool to visit all the head shops and check out strange objects and ideas from places like India and the far east. And this was in the early sixties.

The moral relativism thing, as you point out (and I mentioned in my first post), was born in the "intellectual" centers such as Berkley. I shudder to think that these people all now occupy heavily-tenured professor positions all over the country.

Of course, they couldn't do anything else....

You know, I'm not so sure about that. I just don't think its proponents had a clue just where that was really going. Let's face it, a world with only one superpower that is behaving so fundamentally differently from the old imperial model as we are, constitutes a sea change in history. It may be better or worse, and Lord only knows where it's going, but I think it's unarguably different.

I remember those hippy days well. We all thought the Age of Aquarius meant free pot, free lunch, free love. If, instead, it merely means "free," then I'd say we've gained something much more precious.
