a "60's style" revolution would be nothing more than a reenactment of the past.
for those of us who have grown up in the wake of that particular counter culture movement it's difficult to think of anything as exciting as what went down in "the 60's". but, like any good story, the more the past is retold and the further removed we are from it the wilder and more grandiose it becomes.
the "60s" have become enshrouded in such a mythical fog that it has become extremely difficult to distinguish fact from fiction when discussing that time.
the reality is we live in a time of great upheaval, great change, great "revolution". it's always difficult to see how great something is when you are living through it and rarely does it "feel" great to those smack in the middle of the experience.

The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Definitely yes. Except this time I think it will be much more revolutionary. Probably a much greater impact than the 60's. (at least let's hope).
Except sans the Kent State Shootings. Those were lame.
Let's be as peaceful and even more organized than the movement of the 60's! Let's have a stronger message, let's accomplish more things!

No more Patriot Act, CIA, NSA, TSA, DHS, DEA, FBI, etc. All of that is bullshit and I can see right through the smoke and mirrors. The true terrorists are Janet Napolitano and the paid-off Mainstream Media, long since infiltrated by the CIA with Operation Mockingbird, all of them always telling us we're going to be bombed by "Al-Quada".

We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." --Max Planck

So no, and if we do have a revolution is better not be like the faggy 60's.

No and I'll tell you why. There's simply not enough LSD in circulation. Back in the 60's guys like Ronald Stark and Oswely were pumping the world full of LSD. We had a whole generation of people "turning on" and those that weren't could watch the revolution right from their television.
Read this

Fantastic read about the history of LSD.
It would also help it writers and poets that were popular used LSD as well, but what would it matter? Literature seems to be unimportant in the scheme of things nowadays.
People don't want to turn on, they want to turn off and watch American Idol.

God I hope not! The 60's are like that one girl that leads you on the whole night only to slap your hand when you reach into her pants. Shut up and do your thing the best you can instead of raging against society/politics/world.

also, it seems to me like a lot of today's generation see things like LSD and psilocybin as just another way to get "fucked up". Its no longer about finding yourself or changing the way you look at the world, but about having a "craaazy night".

Well I also think a lot of that has to do with dosage. A lot of hits back then were supposedly around 250mics whereas the average does now is 100 or under.

I don't think our current revolution is too much like the one of the 1960's. I do see revolution in the air though. Questioning of established authority and the like. Look at what's been going on in the Middle East? The people are rejecting the old values and old power structures.

Those people don't watch the Jersey Shore.
All in all I think at this point chemicals may be the only way to create a revolution as the media has brainwashed most of the population. And don't give me the "people aren't sheep" line. 40% of this country doesn't even believe in evolution and instead thinks its all magic.

the internet is creating a revolution in young people's minds all across the nation, combined with continued drug use (but that isn't the point).
we have all the information we could need. It's already happening in those middle eastern countries.
But it don't see it as a revolution. I see it as a renaissance of art and culture, and it's up to all of us to contribute. Like iamswim says...ya gotta be doin thangs so that it all 
2012! Lets make it a reality!

I would assume the Internet is used more for porn and getting cheat codes than actual information.

you would assume wrong! through the internet I've gotten LSD, mushrooms, dmt, spiritual experiences, information on how to meditate, and friends. Porn too though.

Any revolution that will happen is bound to be better than the 60s underground stupidity. Unless its a bunch of fat diabetics protesting.

i think the 60's was awesome but it was a very adolescent movement. The next one will be like our 20's and it'll be the shiiiit. Probably happen slower, but last longer, and not as much downside. All in all, there is a great opportunity ahead if you're open and ready for it. Try and be where you want to be in your life by 2012, and you'll be rewarded for it by the universe 
be skeptical of what i'm saying if you want, or just let these words hit home, and go out there today and do something awesome

I think those who criticize the "revolotion" of the 60's need to pull their head out of their ass and look around and see how much really HAS changed. I mean for fuck's sake, here we are communicating instantly with people from around the world on a website dedicated to psychedelic drug use. Look at soccer moms doing yoga. Look at Zen being used in advertising, hear Beatles songs on muzak. I'm not saying these are all necessarily good things, but look at how much it really changed the cultural landscape of our society.
