I am starting to have this belief that the Beatles invasion of 1964 was when America, once again was starting to fall apart. For about a 20 year span, from the late 1940s to about the early 1960s, America was great. Technology was moving forward, moral values were coming back, and it seems like we had a true identity. Society was fairly stable and things were moving forward, they were very progressive for that time. America was going into space and we are starting to have new innovations with the home and how we live our life, which has halted about 1964. The mini-jukeboxes and the car hops are a very modern thing and cars were even starting to have a very modernist look to it, but it all halted about 1964 with the Beatles.
The Beatles look like a clean cut boy band, but there was something different about them - their hair. An uncivilized mop. After that, you have a bunch of other bands such as The Rolling Stones, the Who, and a bunch of other stodgy old bands that sound the same and whine. The United States was moving forward in the 1960s and the 1960s was very modern, but you had a bunch of protesters in college that don't want anything new and want to go back to the stone age or the dark ages, smoking weed, having sex with whoever they please without true commitment which goes against the psychological rules of healthy relationships. You had these protesters called hippies that want to lay around in the brush, act like a bunch of animals. It looks like things are falling apart.
It looks like there is a continuous culture war and it seems to be an battle between the people that want to move forward and act civilized, and seems like there is a bunch that want to move backwards, and it seems like this battle is starting to peak out. But eventually we are going to win this culture war and finally go back to the America that was good.
We did have a comeback of the good America in the 1980s and early 1990s with Reagan and Bush, but then after about the early 1990s we have been entering chaos. People are starting to walk around like slobs, hook up like a bunch of animals, and starting arguing about pointless things. It seems like we are in a war just like a cold war and there is a battle with your next door neighbor. There is people on here if they are reading this will disagree with me and there are people will agree with me which makes it hard for me to state my point.
But there are some good things about the revolution of the 1960s and the 1970s as well. The Civil Rights movement is actually good, but black people being segregated - I don't see there are many black people that mind to be segregated. I don't see people in the real world hanging around with multiracial or cultures, but I do like the idea that they are respected like human beings, because they are human beings, not aliens. We will probably have extraterrestrial racism if we start seeing aliens starting to migrate onto planet Earth - that aliens are only allowed to work at McDonalds and can't get executive position. The feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s has failed as well, but I can see something called neo-feminism. Women can do their biological instincts of raising children and being a housewife, but still be allowed to vote and express themselves, along with work with a part time or internet job. Actually women can do any job they want - the same with blacks. They are humans and they are made with the same biological features, but we still have fear about different people.
I think some of the revolution things were good, but we are finally going to restore the America we love. Housewife is going to comeback - girls want to get married and have kids like they are supposed to be and them man is supposed to work. But I notice there is discrimination against the white people and the old people - I am a white middle class Republican and I can't get a job, but a gay Chinese guy in a wheelchair can get a job. Doesn't make any sense! We do need equality and true equality - including whites. But there is a thing called the economy and there needs to be some fix to the economy - and probably should get rid of this red tape and the freedom to walk in and work just like any human can work. A child can work if he can put his mind to it and child labor might be good in the future - that's age discrimination not allowing a child to work and a old man to work. We need to let everyone who wants to work work and everyone who wants to play play!
There is going to be a change and I can see the Age of Freedom is going to come in 2012. The internet is the closest to the Age of Freedom but I think we need some standards with morality just to keep saneness which is common sense. We can't eat each other and we have gotten down to the level of eating each other - we need to have some social skills and rules such as not walking around like a slob and hooking up with a bunch of people like a bunch of animals. We are in a world where we are easily offended and it is making me hard to say what I please - but in this world, if you don't want to be offended, you don't have to listen. Believe what you want to believe - I am not God and there is no set belief, but I think you should get your head screwed on and stop arguing at one another. I do accept different beliefs but I do like my own, strong beliefs as well. You don't have to have a government to tell you not to look at porn, etc. that will suck or being stoned to death for not agreeing with some sacred document. That's the good thing about this country - freedom of speech.
But now we are in a globalized society, but there are different cultures and they don't have to agree with me- suck it! A Muslim would agree with some of my moral beliefs and I do agree with some of their beliefs, but not to the radical level. But we got something called English and many people can't read English, which is a good thing so you don't have to listen to me.
