Anti social behavior orders come to mind and so does the current knife control and past gun control efforts. This is also said to be a time of individualism. Yet anti social behavior orders and the very stringent laws passed are against the individual.Relaxing restrictions is actually a 2T hallmark, free love being the most obvious example. 3Ts are actually times of crackdowns on deviant behavior, the Big Three being the major crackdowns on public smoking, drunk driving and sexual harassment, which were force fed to whatever holdouts there were. And during the previous 3T there was the all out prohibition of liquor.
Especially when you an Apollonian Idealist generation, like the American Missionaries were, along with both the British Generation 68ers and Aussie Boomers are.
