Answer 2

The 1960's were a building on a general dissatisfaction with the "normal" life of the 1950's. My mother once told me that if you remembered the 1960's, you really were not there. Everything was everything. People had opinions that didn't always kowtow to the norm. Being different mattered. More than anything, the 1960's gave us the idea that the revolution doesn't begin with masses, it begins with you.

Answer 3

Yellow sunshine, Purple haze. Strawberry and Chocolate mescaline. LSD25. Phyncyclidine(synthetic marijuana) (angel dust), haha.

The idea wa good but the results were not lasting. Man can obtain and attain the Moon, but He has no ability to maintain anything with out God.

It was a colorful time or era, it may come to be know as, but did it really acheive the dream of the pushers of the mind altering drugs? Tim Leary was deceived into believeing he could make a difference. He did send a lot of minds to outter space, but forgot to remember gravity. all that goes up MUST come down.

Jesus is the only way to trip forever.

Answer 5

THE 1960s GAVE THE WORLD meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 6

A lot of mess. It was a time of 'free' love and promiscuity and the explosion in STD's, a time of the rise of drug use, an extraordinarily amazing musical period and the start of the disintegration of class consciousness in the UK. It was a time of great imagination and freedom of spirit. A time of draft dodgers and pot heads like Billy Clinton. It has resulted in less respect for society and people, more illegitimate births and the decline in morals, the advent of the AIDS epidemic and the rise of liberal values. The negatives most probably outweigh the positives.

Answer 7

Some great freaking music! Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, the list goes on.

Answer 8

urmm, it is said if you can remember the sixties, you weren't there. i think i was born before that, but then .....something, something and then, ummm. well all i know for sure is that the sixties marked the end of innocence for america. it started with a bang, a shot heard 'round the world as it echoed through the streets of dallas one bright november afternoon, a horrible conspiracy of terror that was not soon to end. then they shot the preacher who had a great dream, and jacks brother bobby. and while we sang songs of peace, and the whole world watched, four dead in ohio. and i won't ever forget our brother bound and gagged in a courtroom, a generation on trial.

Answer 9

New social mores that have escalated to the point of societal bedlam in 2006. People are uncivilized self indulgent slugs. Not everyone of course but a big majority.

Answer 10

Well let's see it set us free from sexual constraints so we could really mess up our lives.



It also gave us a Spiritual awakening that still reverberates today. I think cause so many of the messed up people could still see where they had come from and wondered if there was a way to get back the innocence and goodness.

Answer 11

It provided an environment from which we realized we could question everything we had been taught, and re-evaluate our beliefs. Sadly, this lesson has been lost on too many people since then. It allowed us to expand, explode, and eliminate boundries, which the powers-that-be and defenders of the status quo have been struggling to reimpose ever since.
