to me that a lot of people's ideas back then were discounted from their real value because of the stereotype that represented such ideals. I can see some whoop-de-fucking-doo congressmen in suits and all looking at these flowerbearing longhaired hippies in their tie-die shirts and bellbottoms thinking, "...and those people want us to do what?" Einstein was one hell of a funny looking guy - he also had some really good ideas...
