Yes the 60s hippie generation enacted change only after middle america realized that fighting Vietnam was nuts. Pulling out of Vietnam was the RIGHT thing to do and saved US soldiers lives. The only thing that was wrong with the whole thing was the way US soldiers were treated! That was a true dishonor!
Hey what do you mean young once I'm only 36. I'm middle aged;) :p

I'm only 31! My point is that you remember what it was like. The volunteer work, the vegetarian tendencies, ah some of those beautiful hippie chicks (the pseudo hippy ones anyway that talked the talk but wouldn't give up their makeup!!!)
If youth lost that element what a depressing world that would be!
