@Sigolet i like yourcomment, can you be specific what excatly do you mean. because back in 60 -70 there was a lot's of thinks going on.

[Sigolet]

Every one of the social, political, and economic problems with which we cope today are the direct result of the irresponsible and immature culture of the 60's and 70's.

The reason you have no future today, can be traced to the mindless values that were recklessly embraced in the late 60's and 70's.
