One could afford to drive to rallies and protest to be bashed batter and plummeted by riot control.
More mothers were stay at home mom's.
Most games required at least two participants to play.
A lot of those in the 60's & 70's generation decided they could not change the system so they joined into it instead, considering "If you can't beat'em join'em". They now live comfy lives and do not wish for those cozy lifestyles to be disturbed.
Others relinquished themselves to drug overdoses and are no longer with us here.
The now generation has been taught that the only thing that counts is making money and getting that job so they can be enslaved in the system of the corrupt corporate world. So they can purchase many of those wonderful corporate products that are made in China.
Many schools have taught the children growing up that this whole structured of life is good. "The condo on the top floor is the one you want to own when you buy."
Work, work, work who has time to protest? |
