Whereas from my second-hand understanding, generational disparities were more outward and complete in the 60's -- your social AND political bearings were a 180, which was a vocal way of doing it but, I would bet, not the norm in the way that some polling suggests it is with political issues now, in a much quieter but perhaps more pervasive way. But then I only think this because the info I have is about NOW, not about THEN. What survives mostly from THEN (from someone who was born during Reagan and lived thru Bush) is a kind of co-opting of superficial cultural moments with a severe downturn in the quality of politics and legislation in areas that made progress in the 60s.
