As a "Baby Boomer" I went to College in the late 60's.....It was the days of "Peace & Love"...Remember the chants "Give Peace A Chance?"...Weren't we taught the idea that if we Put Our Minds To It, we Could Change The World?" Maybe it was the Fact that there was a Divided Germany at that time, there had been the "Korean War" & also the "Vietnam War" we were forced to Grow Up a little Quicker & think about Life on a Different stage...Most of us already had "High-School Friends" coming Home in "Body Bags" from Vietnam by then....
It was also the "Hippy Era" & Drug use of every kind was everywhere.....You could call it the "Mind Altering Era" also....Lots of Theories, lots of Questions, but Few Real Answers....We Lost our "Innocence" at a very Young age then...Well, .Innocence & Naivety, Both! In those days you or we were actually Free to Question & Have our "Own Opinions" My How Times Have Changed!!!! I was even a member of a "Debate Team" & I'm sorry but can we even have a True, Honest, Open or Real DEBATE anymore? Answer: A Resounding NO!
