And I do whole heartedly agree that the 60s gave us idealism. IMHO, it was the greatest thing they did give us.

But I look at the world and honestly, I just dont know... maybe we can change it.. maybe we cant. My views are different then most on this board as they are tempered with Christianity. I believe that however we come out of this, it will be for the best.. but that the window of time is closing on our power to truly effect real change.

That's why I think it is so imperative that we find the words to reach every demographic, especially those that did not experience the 60s, but are simply running on fumes at this point.

We need to refill our tanks with something tangible and real. I feel that the elitism of looking too hard at the past is really detrimental toward that cause. Way more detrimental then any Dean/clark bashing. I think alot of us that didnt experience the 60s are looking to it for answers that arent to be found, we must make our own answers. And therein lies the bane, another fracture in whatever unification that we have achieved.
