I was born in 1958 so I was just a kid in the 60s. But I remember it as a scary time--at least I was very anxious. We lived in a university town, so there were lots of protests going on. The Viet Nam war raged on, and every night there was a body count on the news. When MLK and Robert Kennedy were both assassinated, I thought the world was coming to an end. Of course I was only 10, and I had no perspective.
