But I wonder how many would really like to return to the pre-60's culture. Not many African Americans, gays, draftees or women, I expect. Certainly not those who remember experiencing the effects of the lockstep racial and gender sterotyping, and the dreadful laws, that we lived under. Sometimes it appears that people these days imagine all those changes 'just happened', or came about in spite of, rather than because of, the struggles of those whose efforts are so easily dismissed in one-liners today. I'm sure not all those who dismiss them are white heterosexual males, either! Diane Cano Ganas
