Denial is always an ugly, ugly thing to watch.

    Good post but I cannot agree on these 2 points.

    "Anti-morals, anti-value" is a self-accepted thing and not a 'movement' by any definition. Also, none of this has a thing to do with self-esteem.

    IT DOES have to do with Self Entitlement. Almost entirely. It's the Age of Self-Entitlement we live in.


    Also, the original hippies have nothing to do with this at all. They could not even stay organized for 24 months before imploding.

    Not harshing, and the idea are in the right place, just wrongly identified imho.

    I'd assert that the over-emphasis on high self-esteem generated self-entitlement as a result.

    "You're great, you deserve better, go easy on yourself." --> "I deserve better, it's not my fault, I should get special consideration because I'm special."

    As for the anti-moral, anti-value movement, I'll agree that there aren't many who would self-identify under that label. There are a number of organized efforts (with legions of people who generally agree with the fad) whose actions distill down to this, even if unwittingly. It goes beyond a simple disbelief in religion. A lot of it comes from attacking morals because of their association with religion. Even the root of the word "good" comes from the word "god" and that's enough cause to attack the notion for some. Orwell did a better job of explaining that path.

    As for hippies, they had children and that generation is starting to reach their forties and fifties. Those children, reared by hippies, and is some cases those same hippies are the professors and administrators of today. After all, why grow up and leave school? That's such a hassle man. Smile

    Logically, they need to also sue the U.S. Federal government. After all, it repealed the Prohibition amendment and turned demon rum loose for potential addicts to abuse. Besides that, it makes a profit in taxes on alcohol, no? As do the states and the local municipalities. All complicit in encouraging addiction, and all profiting from it. Therefore they're all potential defendants.

    While they're at it, they should sue the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians might not have invented beer, but they can't deny that they were producing it long, long ago. Irrefutable evidence of beer production can be found through chemical analysis of old Egyptian grog pots. Given their influence as a major cradle of civilization, they can hardly deny their liability as an early and irresponsible spreader of the worldwide beer addiction.

    And don't forget the gun industry. At least one of the addicts is in prison for using a gun on somebody. Which, but for the gun manufactures, would not have been available to him as a beer addict. No gun, beer addict cannot shoot anyone. Res ipsa loquitur. And better join the ancient Chinese as defendants too. Those negligent gunpowder-inventing fools. The consequences (that a beer addict would someday end up in prison for shooting somebody with a firearm) were foreseeable. That is, if we can prove that the ancient Chinese had beer, knew about beer, or should have known about beer. A reasonably person person with knowledge of beer, or the duty to learn about beer, would not invent an explosive substance. Even if it was just intended for use in fireworks.

    Gee, thanks for getting the thread locked now.
