The world was the same back then as it is now. The reason the 60's seemd so peaceful is because wars weren't being broadcasted live on TV, there were no security and cameras in public, the world had MUCH less people than it does now. The word seems fucked up now because we all see on TV and in the media the sad things going on. Back then they didn't have the technology to broadcast disasters and TV, but now, that's all people feed on, is tragedy.

Things were just as bad then as they are now. Our folks just didn't have the technology to see the things we do now.

I asked my dad once about life in the 70's. He said people were more laid back. He calls this generation angry and violent...geez, I wonder why. He said they could go to a crowded bar and there would be no fighting. You got to one now in a night, and you're guaranteed to see a fight happen. People are angry these days because of what we are seeing, it's much mopre present now with double the population as it was in the 60's/70's.
