        Life was such an easy game, a child could play - The Monkeys  'Shades of Gray'

During the most influential period of my life, and that being the sixties, the words 'rules for life' seemed to be a bad idea. Freedom from rules was kind of the ideal for life. I have to say 'kind of' because at some level, most of us knew rules were essential. Most of us would not have wanted a surgeon who didn't play by the rules for surgeons, or a banker who didn't play by the rules of law. But our talk reflected the idea that rules were bad. And our 'talk' has a lot of power. At some level, our 'talk', impacts the meaning we give to an idea, whether we mean it or not, and ideas have consequences. The sixties definitely left its mark on our culture for the long run. And the consequences of these ideas have become very complicated.
