I was a kid in the sixties. My brother got killed in Vietnam because he got a unlucky draft #.The Pot was weak (mostly from Mexico) and there was a lot of divisiveness in the Country. The hippies were too radical and the right was too right. Only good things I can say was those hip hugger jeans the girls used to wear, no STD's that would kill you, clean LSD ran into the 70's, music was fucking fantastic ...and generally, there were a lot less posers in the world. Things seemed to be a little more black and white. The other thing I remember fondly is NO fucking cell phones.

No cell phones.
No Internet.
No fax.
No overnight delivery.
No home computers.
No video games.
No vulgar trash on television.
No cable TV.
And we still managed to live a happy life. Who'd have thunk it?

The only thing that would make we want to grow up in the 60s, as I know it, was the endless amounts of guilt-free sex.
Other than that, I am so fucking grateful to be in the time period im in now...this is an amazing time

highc said: I sure would. I figure it would put you in your 70's so you could still be alive. Or possibly dead. You would miss out on technology and research chems. Lol. Some are gold. Every time I watch fear and loathing and it gets to this quote I tear up a little and ponder the question..
Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. . . .
History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time —and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.
My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings—when I left the Fillmore half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning across the Bay Bridge at a hundred miles an hour wearing L. L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder's jacket . . . booming through the Treasure Island tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond, not quite sure which turn-off to take when I got to the other end (always stalling at the toll-gate, too twisted to find neutral while I fumbled for change) . . . but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .
And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

iono about the sixties, i kind of like exotic lookn chicks and i like having the internet.
i was born in 84, so i grew up during the late 80s and 90s. everything was soooooo cooooooooooool until about 2005. around 2005/2006 everything just sort of started to suck. i literally mean everything. like, all my friends became boring and stupid and ultra cliquey, music started to suck, movies started to suck, TV started to suck... i couldn't even walk around n look at trees without seeing middle fingers flippn me off. iono if i went schizo or my dad was having a mid life crisis or something but... yeah, everything started to just suck ass.
it hasn't really turned around yet either. i mean a little bit, but... eh, everything still sorta sucks IMHO.

The big difference between the 60's and now is... we dress better now.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I find current times more appealing. From the internet, to drugs, vehicles, entertainment, and technological advances. I wouldn't choose another era to grow up in than the current one. Dosen't mean I wouldn't like to experience a past time period.
