The Curt Jester posted a list of the Top Ten Contradictory Attitudes of the Sixties Bunch that he gleened from Aliens in this World:

10. Demonstrations and marches are good.
       Eucharistic and saint-day processions are bad.

9.  Incense at home to cover up that marijuana smell is good. Yay, Sanskrit chant!
     Incense in church to waft prayers to Heaven is bad. Boo, Gregorian chant!

8.  Renovating old houses and antiques to their original condition is good.
     Maintaining old churches in their original condition is bad.

7.  Indoctrinating children from birth to love peace is good.
     Baptizing children soon after birth, and teaching them the Christian faith, is bad.

6.  It’s good for kids to learn a second language. Bilingual education is great.
