It was forty years ago this summer that the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco ignited the counter-cultural revolution, and with it began one of America’s greatest identity crises. Some of her strongest foundations were shaken, eroding religious faith, morality, devotion to family, and basic integrity.
This great clash of cultures and ideas came at the very peak of the Cold War, the greatest confrontation between democracy and communism.

I was carried into another realm where I found myself standing at a crossroads. Close to me, I saw the form of a person holding a dim light. As I approached, I recognized Lady Liberty, the Statue of Liberty, which was alive. She was confused and disoriented. With her feet barely moving forward, she was hesitant. Her light was dim, and her arms drooped so that she was about to drop the tablet she was holding loosely.
She was trying to choose one of the roads. She had just read the sign that warned those who came to...
