Yes, the counterculture opened up huge holes ... one micron deep.  While I 
recall the sixties as a great time to be young, I'm sorry to say the era was 
a complete waste of time in terms of lasting positive effect.  The USA 
wouldn't be the utterly malignant fucked-up mess it is today if the 
counterculture had made any difference at all.  Sad.
