Yeah and Hitler's parents thought the baby fuhrer was a bundle of joy. 
Then when he grew up millions of people adored him.  Does that make him a
good person.

I have read Vineland maybe a dozen times and every time I get to this
Frenesi/Vond episode my blood begins to boil.  She is an incredibly bad
person.

And I wish to Briefly respond to Bandwraith's comment that "Hippie-dom
would have been equally as  marginalized except for several important
events- the acceleration of the civil rights movement, and, Martin Luther
King's courageous anti-war stand."

As one who lived through those days I can tell you that most of the
hippies had no clue who Martin Luther King was.  All they knew was that
government wanted to draft them and put them in a country where people
wanted to kill them.  It was self defense that built the antiwar movement
and it was the end of widespread hostilities and the scaling down of the
draft that ended the movement.
