'Spaw, Yeah we had our way with the pooch, but those of us who came out of it "all right" (accepting responsibilities that came with our freedom) I believe are, and always were, part of a thoughtful minority. Looking back, I remember clearly that at pretty much every counterculture event I saw, whether anti-war or freedom of speech or free love, most people were just there for the party, for the drugs and sex and Lack of responsibility. Those are the ones that spawned the last couple of generations that we speak about so alarmingly here. If by some miracle it had gone "our" way, maybe we would have the aquarian utopia we thought we were going to get. I don't think there were that many more thoughtful, responsible people back then than there are now. It's just that the media has them under tighter control now. The drugs and sex were pretty cool at the time, though.
