APR:
Are you equating the 60s generation with hippies and locating the whole of
the generation in the white populations of advanced industrial and
once-upon-a-time oh-so-very-cultured and, of course morally sophisticated,
goal-oriented and hard working West?
All I can say, if you are, is: it seems to me that you paint rather
indiscriminately with a broad brush and blind eye (or two).
