I think that most of us *were* aware during the 60s (and early 70s, in my case) that we were starting something new, planting seeds that would grow into something larger. Most people didn't know exactly what it was that had been planted (an acorn doesn't look much like an oak tree) but part of what gave the era meaning was that we believed we were making a difference. I'm glad Francine posted this blog entry. I've been curious about the book myself, and now I'll make a point of looking for a copy. Actually, Michael, I disagree.

They aren't as noticeable as trees. Most of what happened in the sixties spawned in the fifties in the Beat world and the rise of Rock as a reaction to the more famous conformity. Most of what happened in the conservative conquest of America spawned in the sixties as a reaction to drugs, sex, rock, and various brands of liberation. What seeds are we not aware of today that will dominate in the teens and twenties of what the neocons called "the New American Century" As the old line says, “if you remember the sixties… you weren’t really there” Funny thing about seeds.
