Thanks Jay,

His analysis and suggestions seem "Right On!" to me.  The irony is that he's well enmeshed in the very system he's criticizing, kinda like the pot calling the kettle black, perhaps an unavoidable irony of human existence and social structure.  We're all prisoners our existence.

His perspective actually picks up on the positive aspects of 60's revolution, that eventually detonated into Yuppiedom and drug induced social coma, an endless oscillation of social cultural reality.
