Socially, 1968 Never Ended.
The battles joined in society in 1968 have never been resolved and are still being fought: Race relations / abortion / justness of foreign interventionism / abstinence vs. Sexual freedom / marijuana / women's rights / gay rights. Not until these issues are resolved will the lessons of the '60s be truly absorbed into Western society.

I agree, but i also think that there are those who have a vested interest in keeping the battles going. There are those who would be lost without them and have their entire identity tied to them. I'm not saying that we should push them under the rug, but i think that we should be more honest about where the problems come and how they are perpetuated.

I agree, those things haven't been resolved, they're all pretty volatile topics, yet at the same time, some wonderful parts of the 60's have been left behind. It was really of time when you could just walk up to someone and have a great conversation, people were friendlier most all the time. We never had to locked our doors, gangs were few and far between, the free love thing may have gone too far, but the love thing should have stayed.

 But economics dictates the level of safety. Strength of the middle class, etc.
