The 1960s

I have been asked with which specific changes in the 1960s I disagree. So let me say, first, that I support the abolition of capital punishment, though not for any reason to do with miscarriages of justice, since that was not why it was abolished in the first place. And secondly, that I support the decriminalisation of male homosexual acts between consenting adults in private, a reform predating by several years the rise of the gay movement (the roots of which are in the abuse of teenage boys), which can claim no credit for it.
