The decade where Common Sense was exiled and laughed out of town, in the name of mind sets ( Begun around 5 years before ) that the youth and the gurus they blindly followed, were fooled into believing a mindset: overthrowing sense led to an intellectual and spiritual enlightenment, far above and beyond what we had been taught before ( before the 1960s: before LSD and other hallucinogenics, that "opened your mind" ) - but in REALITY ,ended up as nothing but Fool's Gold Fool's Gold enlightenment, Fool's Gold freedom, Fool's Gold hipness,Fool's Gold coolness,and worse, that suffocated the era.
And if you tried to swim against this tide, with common sense,reason , and emotion, you got smugly condescended,browbeaten,sneered,smirked,laughed at,and eventually physically, nearly to death, with the attitude that such thinking was "old-fashioned" Hence the reason most of the youth were so obnoxious and nasty for too many years. Unforgivable.
