Here is a synopsis of the sixties

In the 60s the majority of our "parents" lacked sophistication. On any given day they were basically functional drunks and their solution to everything was conformity and if that failed military service.

The revolt against the establishment produced some great revolutionary figures such as,

In the United States there was Emmett Grogan, Abbie Hoffman, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, Martha Griffiths and many more.

In Europe there was Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Antoinette Fouque, Monique Wittig, Eric Hobsbawm and again many more.

Furthermore we changed the entire way society operated. Not only did we contribute great works of art but everything from premarital sex, civil rights to getting rid of the draft was won because of the sixites counter culture mouvement. If it was not for hippies, men today would still have crew cuts and women would still be going to university for nothing more than an "MRS." degree.

Wheras today the parents of generation loser are over weight wallmart shoppers and their children are nothing more than illiterate and narcissistic video game playing chronic masturbators. They contribute nothing and are incapable of learning anything. Substitute the drug extasy for alcohol and they are more or less the same problem as the parents of generation Woodstock.
