ok people
Let me tell you what it was like. I can tell you all about it first hand. I have no desire to return to that time. If I could, I would remove the whole social movement of the 60's and 70's out of the history books and from complete existence...
Easy for me to say... I got lots and gave lots away.. it was an easy time and my generation really thought we were leading the way to a brave new world...
In that time we changed music, we discovered other religions and study of self and declared God was dead... we got so stoned many of us blew our brains out in a million ways. We desided all you needed was love and by sheer numbers we were a major force. We burned the bra and decided women should be able to work because men were cruel and marriage was unfair and blah blah blah.
Young men were going off to fight in a war that was everlasting and forrific. We were young, we were bright and educated, we were totally confused. We sang protest songs, fought for peace. Does any of this sound familiar?
Fast Forward to Today.
The family unit has completely fallen apart.
Two people in a family work hard, lose their children and barely make ends meet as often as not. The family rarely has time together what with activities and work schedules of the parents. The kids and parents do not know each other all that well now. Everything has become increasingly expensive as the wealth of the world has become concentrated into fewer and fewer hands.
People are fighting everywhere over everything. Everyone is polarized and stuck in their own camp. Religions, wealth, politics both globally and nationally, race, almost all of it quite meaningless although there are excptional times when war cannot be avoided.
We kinda failed in our mission to fix the world with our peace love groovy. I have been giving a lot of thought as to why this is. What went wrong?
We were duped is what went wrong. Now we are paying the ultimate price for our foolishness back then. Our free love has resulted in single moms, broken families, and an incredible raise in sexual diseases that are becoming increasingly difficult to eradicate. And of course death.
The people behind this are the Rockefeller Family. Recently one of them bragged about why the family brought about women's liberation... To break up the family and get two family members paying taxes and to get the children younger to start influencing them sooner... You read how cleverly it was done so we thought it was a movement... instead it has backfired.
So free love was not free at all. It came with a heavy price tag.

I was not sexually active during the era, but I think that people should still be sexually free as long as they protect themselves against unwanted pregnancies and STDs
