Ornamentalmind, I thought the zenith of the United States was in the 1990s. The 1960s just had a bunch of undisciplined hippies who did care about the country--just getting entry to a vagina or entered by a penis; getting high; or calling soldiers "baby killers." The 1970's was filled with economic hardship and recessions. However, I didn't exist in the '60s and part of the '70s so my judgment may be off. :-)
