Spot on Mark. I was worried I was simplifying things too much. Didn't mean
to neglect the racial tensions, the women's rights, and all the other stuff
that was trying to changed back then. Holy shit. Who *wouldn't* have
rebelled. We needed a new direction and fast!

ridiculous.

Now, I see this as a compliment. An acknowledgement of the times, but
lacking any substantive thing to rebel against. BUT, as you clearly pointed
out, there *ARE* *PLENTY* of things that need to be rebelled against!
We're headin' down a dangerous road. Mark my words, sometime soon things

I'll follow ya Mark! Where's the rally! When I can get past my defeatism,
I get all fired up!
