RE: Re: [RC] Older - heidiI, too, like the TV shows from that era, and don't even bother with
the trash that's on TV now--but it was the news in the 60s that started
bringing sex and violence right into our living rooms, and IMO started
the current trends. Between the Vietnam war and the "free love"
and stoned people that went on at Haight-Ashbury, etc., all
piped in full color into our homes, we became hardened to violence and
trash. We had the assasinations of JFK and RFK piped into our
homes (we didn't have TV at home until later, but my first experience
with TV was watching all of the violence of the JFK assasination,
because we were traveling on a college visitation tour for my brother
and staying in motels and with friends who had TV). We had the
race riots in the South (and was Watts also in the 60s?), and the
violence of Nam coupled with the violence opposing it at home. It
really was a violent and bitter time. And I think we are now
reaping the harvest of some of that violence and bitterness that
spawned then.
