Civil Rights

The other day I heard Sean Hannity railing on about the "hippies" at the Occupy Wall Street. demonstrations. I was struck by two things: 1) Guys like Hannity still think the 60s were a bad thing, not a good thing. And 2) If today's conservative ideology had the upper hand back in the 60s, we'd still have Jim Crow laws in the South, prejudice against blacks in the North, and women's rights would barely have progressed at all.
