Are you old enough to remember when everything was light and love?

[Fla Dem]

10. No. When WAS everything actually Light and Love?

In the 60's
We had the Vietnam war escalating
Agent Orange,
JFK was assassinated,
MLK and Robert Kennedy were assassinated,
Bay of Pigs invasion fails,
Cuban Missile crisis
Richard Nixon is elected President
Vietnam war protests
Of course we didn't have the social networking capabilities we have now or the 24 hour TV news channels. So while there was coverage of all these events, it certainly wasn't the constant rehashing and reporting of events we have today.

There were good things in 60's for sure;

Peace Corp created
Beatles release their first single, "Love me do"
The Voting Rights Act is signed into law
Star Trek airs it's first season
The first manned Apollo mission, Apollo 7, is launched by NASA
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first men to arrive on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission
The Woodstock music festival takes place in New York ...There's Your Light and Love.

Not an adult when a lot of that was going on, but I still was very much aware of a lot of the high tension events that had an impact on us. Kennedy assassinations, war, protests/riots, etc. So not sure I would call it a decade of "Light and Love".

Pretty much what every decade is. Good Stuff and not so Good stuff.
