Who's authority? Your parent's, the government's, God's, all of them? Questioning authority is very different then completely rebeling against norms and customs that have been established to protect the individual, as well as society. The 60's had a huge impact on America - some positive, most negative. I ask you this: is life, society, or the world better now then it was before the 60's?

There is nothing wrong with questioning all types of authority, and it is almost always a good thing. If authority operated reasonably in the eyes of the people, there would be no purpose to question them.

I don't know if the world is a better place because of the sixties, but I know that because of the sixties the draft is never coming back. I do believe the sixties started the prison complex though, which is not good by any stretch.

BTW, what's up with your personal identifiers? Mark Twain with Wahlberg's body? "The Third Leg" moniker, coupled with the Southern Miss symbol - are you aspiring to be Mississippi's version of Andy Warhol?

That's a genuine, trademarked Iowa Tigerhawk, partner; it is not the stolen intellectual property of Southern Miss.

The genesis of that was actually Nixon's War on Drugs which really started about 1972. It got ramped up exponentially under Reagan in the 80's.
