List of major changes to society in the 1960s. Society back then was rotten to the core already; V2 just pushed things over the edge. Let's not blame the "Boomers" for any of this; they had to deal with all this change when they were teenagers. The fault of all this is the "Silent Generation", aptly named, as they didn't speak out about any of these dangers.

The war against the Church, society and the family was won in the 1960s. Since then, (for the good guys) it's just been a battle to limit the damage. The bad guys dropped nuclear bomb after nuclear bomb in that one decade. The extent of change is breathtaking.
