I hold myself in good company then, I said " We've just been treated to a thesis on the 'astounding
60's' that laid the foundation for unsurpassed freedoms and enlightenment--"
" laid the foundation" big difference, no ? I understood the original post to suggest the 'counter culture' of the sixties created the environment for great strides in racial equality, gender understanding etc

'don't even think' , who the fuck are you, perhaps the size of your ego is
interfering with comprehension, I asked a question, a legitimate one I
think. We live-we die and in these times young people are dying for fuck all
because we have failed our fathers, history is repeating itself . I'll
question what the hell I want and you can play whatever silly little games
you want, when people are being incarcerated without trial, when an
illegitimate government conducts illegal acts who will stand up and say
enough- Spartacus ?
