Wow Koan,

...and a mere 45 years later, just look at us now. I'm really proud of the 60's generation...not! From the greatest generation to the most f'ed up generation in one generation.

Insight is a beautiful thing (existentialism and the other philosophies, psychologies, spiritual, and religious belief structures)...but look specifically at how they have helped and/or hindered quality of life. Just look at the crop of political leaders the 60's generation has managed to put forward.

Call me disappointed in my generation...I'll cop to that. All of these beliefs can be a useful counterpoint to a culture over-focused and identified with greed and materialism. But overall, the 60's generation has left a flotsam and jetsam of of ideas and social experiments that will take a few generations to clean up.


Haps.
