So are the Sixties over at last?

David Brooks looks around and sees good news.
I always thought it would be dramatic to live through a moral revival. Great leaders would emerge. There would be important books, speeches, marches and crusades. We're in the middle of a moral revival now, and there has been very little of that. This revival has been a bottom-up, prosaic, un-self-conscious one, led by normal parents, normal neighbors and normal community activists.
I think he overstates the case for the unconstitutional, dim-witted "Violence Against Women Act" but, all in all, the column is one that should give you a lift. Even if it's a little one.
