Justified.

The Hippies and Baby-Boomers never rejected God or Jesus.

What they rejected was the hypocrisy of the Church.

The false teachings of blind guides.

Even the motivation for their drug-taking was an attempt to find enlightenment.

We were seekers.

"'And everyone who searches finds.'"  Matthew 7:8 (NRSV)

But we were betrayed by our rock stars.

Peace and love became sex and drugs and rock and roll.

And a generation was ruined.

But the death-knell came when the next generation (Generation X) turned against us and, under the tutelage of Ronald Reagan, blamed and shamed our generation for their left-wing political views.

But nothing lasts forever.

The zeitgeist is turning. 

We are moving away from the backwards, bad-girl, devil-worshipping materialism of Generation X and their followers.

And reviving our ideals.

The Hippies and Baby-Boomers will be justified.

And the Age of Aquarius will begin.
