It seems that the spirit we brought to light in the 60's, of love, peace, acceptance and communality have been cast to the wayside by those who would profess to follow the Ayn Rand doctrine, of success at any cost, step on and destroy your competition, winning at all cost with lying and cheating being okay...we lose our humanity, and WE become the true animals. Many of us still hold true to our hippie-dom, and many of the younger generations are with us. We fight an uphill battle, as they despise our values as weak and ineffectual. But, we continue to resist.
Resteemed your important message; it was very eloquently written.
