HOW DID WE GET FROM THIS
TO THIS ?
They say that the 60’s represented the death of Innocence. That makes me sad. As much as we discovered our sexuality, wouldn’t it had been more fun to examine it in private? Now 3rd grade girls dress like prostitutes. They play with dolls that look like prostitutes and a virgin in junior high is almost unheard of. Now they get to see Disney’s Hannah Montana presenting her vagina in a dance called “twerking” How have we benefitted from this?
Rape and other Sex Crimes in the northwest grew by 1000 percent between 1998 and 2000. It surged from 150 to 15,000. Is this because boys don’t know the limits of the sexual revolution? Teenage pregnancies in the 50’s were almost unheard of. Abortions were only done to save the mother. Not because the female sex partner chose not to be a mother. Something as awful as killing an unborn fetus (Some we use to cherish) is now “simply having it taken care of”. The 60s never brought us a sexual revolution, it brought us moral destruction. It was only a revolution from dignified mores. (Look it up)
I was just a toddler in the 50s. I grew up on the Mickey Mouse Club in Black and White. In the 60s, Every Tuesday night at 7:30 I was glued to ABC for Vic Morrow and Rick Jason in a patriotic TV Show called Combat! Hollywood had no gripes producing this show because the greatest gift Hitler gave Hollywood was being WHITE. Other WWII TV Series existed on the small tube, but if the enemy was not Caucasian, it had to be a comedy like McHale’s Navy or Gomer Pyle. I use to enjoy old Ronald Reagan/Doris Day movies where you could get a woody from a romantic Raquel Welch kiss. Now it seems producers aren’t happy unless there is some form of asphyxiaton involved with brutal sex. Sex, not Love.
The greatest tragedy is that not only did the Bill Ayers and Jane Fondas rob us of our innocence; they robbed America’s future generations of their innocence as well.

Here are some some insightful comments by Aldous Huxley from a speech given to UC Berkeley in 1962 (it’s on youtube). Huxley was a member of the elite think tank the ‘Fabian Society’, who’s emblem is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. His 1930’s novel Brave New World was less likely a clever prediction and more likely a recounting of various bits of social engineering policy he’d overheard while a member of the Fabian Society.
“In “Brave New World” non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the social and political situation. The other world of religion is different from the other world of entertainment; but they resemble one another in being most decidedly “not of this world.” Both are distractions and, if lived in too continuously, both can become, in Marx’s phrase “the opium of the people” and so a threat to freedom. Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures.
“A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now and in their calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those would manipulate and control it.”
….
“Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism. A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.”
….
“It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their servitude. This is the, it seems to me, the ultimate in malevolent revolutions shall we say, and this is a problem which has interested me many years and about which I wrote thirty years ago, a fable, Brave New World, which is an account of society making use of all the devices available and some of the devices which I imagined to be possible making use of them in order to, first of all, to standardize the population, to iron out inconvenient human differences, to create, to say, mass produced models of human beings arranged in some sort of scientific caste system. Since then, I have continued to be extremely interested in this problem and I have noticed with increasing dismay a number of the predictions which were purely fantastic when I made them thirty years ago have come true or seem in process of coming true”.
