He was part of the liberal left, but that movement was quite a bit different then. Joan Baez was part of the left, but apologized and was embarrassed by what the Democrats did after the treaty was signed. She took it personally how the left abandoned SE Asia, and so many deaths that followed. I believe she was the only one with a sense of honor. I think maybe John Denver was that kind of liberal. The kind that wanted Liberty for men, and equal treatment under the law. Todays liberal wants equality of result, and a tap directly into the revenue stream of private individuals so people can act like the "grasshopper instead of the ant" in that classic fable.

I think there was some good coming from the 60's but mostly bad. All the wrong people were blamed just like today. My problem with hippies/liberals(which misleading term)/progressive/socialist/communist they act without thinking and are not held to pay for the damage afterwards while the rest of us pay for their shit.(im probably preaching to the choir)
Liberty is great but without responsibility or the threat of pain from damage its just a word.

There is a difference between the 60's and 70's. In the sixties, sure there were sex, drugs and rock and roll, but hey, we're just being ourselves and we have good intentions to change the world for the better. By the 70's these hippie dippie types had given up the illusion they were changing anything or even wanted to change anything, and just concentrated on sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
