So Ommy, how did you feel about all the protesting/rallys in the later 60s/early 70s?

Well thats not me. I kept my original response vague for a reason and I stay out of the political forum for the same reason so I will bow out of further political talk.

While I was sympathetic to the issues I wasn't an active participant. Probably because the protesting wasn't well organized. There was a national group called the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) but they were strident and advocated violent reform. That never seemed consistent with me.
Secondly, all the protesting never really changed anything. The war was going to end when the politicians ended it not the citizens. Real cultural change doesnt happen with a single protest it happens over time.
This gets back to my comments about people being busy living their own lives. I had school, a job, girlfriend, etc. That stuff gets in the way, just like it does for you now.

Hippy chicks were the dirtiest, stinkiest scabs I ever saw...Now, later on in that hippy era, the hippy fashions were touted to normal people who dressed hippy-ish to look "cool"..Those women were clean..But a true hippy chick like the scabs you saw rolling around in the mud at Woodstock?..I wouldn't **** em with your dick...lol

'There was a price for all that free love. From 1964 through 1968, the rates of syphilis and gonorrhea in California rose 165 percent, according to published reports.'
“There was a lot of drug use, group sex, communal sex,” says Dr. David Smith, who founded the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic with $500 of his own money. “It would be an understatement to say there was a spike in STDs. That’s like saying a hurricane is a strong wind.”
Clinic doctors would regularly visit local communes to track sexual partners of infected people.
“Well, Bill had sex with John, and John had sex with Cindy,” explains Smith. “So we often said, ‘Well, let’s just bring in a gallon of penicillin and inject everybody.’”

I remember grabbing my dad's penthouse mags out of the hidden stash in the basement... the fur-burgers were gigantic!
I hit high school in the late 80's, so that and the early 90's were my time.
I think i permanently damaged my shoulder and wrist as a young man due to the fashion at the time.
The waistband of the jeans sat above the belly button, so you had to contort yourself to play stinkfinger with a chick.... and being as tight as they were I got carpal tunnel from the resistance.
Skirts were just as bad- under the skirt, down the pantyhose and underwear.... then fighting through the thicket of hair..... good times, good times.

On a more serious note, racism was terrible.
All of my aunts and uncles would toss around racial slurs openly, and rarely get a reaction. Thankfully they wised up later in life.... my rotten ass uncle was still a bigot until he drank himself to death, but at least he had enough sense to keep it to himself near the end.
16 states had anti-misegenation laws until 1967 (laws banning whites marrying blacks).... when the supreme court banned the practice.
In those 16 states, interracial couples were frequently the target of hatred.
It took till the mid 60's for the supreme court to invoke the commerce law and make discriminating against blacks in private businesses, housing, restaraunts, and hotels illegal, and the 70's were still close enough that there were plenty of people that still resented that.
pretty shitty time for racism. The persecuted finally got the rights they deserve, and that really pissed off the uneducated jackasses that disagreed.
