re: All things considered, do you think the 1960s were positive for society?

For African-Americans, what do you think? I'd say it is subjective. Life and society is definitely better for a huge chunk of the American population who were marginalized and discriminated against violently in that pristine, perfect 1950's America

(Sticking with the American Family again)

Yet, despite the undeniably racial shittiness of white Southerners to blacks in that earlier period, the Black American Family was intact and blacks (and everybody else for that matter) didn't have to deal with the horribly destructive effects of growing up with no Father in poverty and violence. To call what we have now a "success" is folly. The American Family is failing miserably. This is occurring because American accepted the laughable 60's cultural premise that we could remake human nature through government intervention and that this most critical unit of cultural cohesion and learning could be replaced by a Benevolent State.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan called in all in 1965. The Great Society is the Father of ALL these soupy cultural pathologies. It was entirely predictable and as we see today, the worse it gets, the more people cheerlead for it.
