While many of you weren't around at the time, and others will likely deny they were, some of us actually enjoyed the 60's. Mind you , it's been said that if you remember the 60's, you weren't really there, but that's another issue. Some of us remember. Mostly!

Nostalgia For The Sixties

The Sixties, yes the Sixties. A time of hope. A time of rebellion. A time for discovering new ways to do things, ways that could not be any worse than what was being done at the time.

In contrast to most of the other movements of the period, one very active group combined revolutionary vegetarianism (not so uncommon), and militant prohibitionism (very uncommon), with a solid grounding in the widely-held ideology of Free Love. The members of this movement believed that the first part of their philosophy would automatically lead to perfect physical health. They were convinced that if they ate only vegetables, and loved one another, that the uncontrollable desire to consume the Demon Rum would pass away.

They believed that:

Peas would rule the planets,
And love would clear the bars.
It was the dawning of the age of asparagus.
