Given that they went into space and landed on the moon in the 60's, that decade might not be a bad place for your mind to rest. It was, in many ways, much more visionary than the times in which we now live.

Not to mention that quite a few groundbreaking technologies were invented in the 60's.

With that said, I do agree that if someone doesn't fit into the culture, that can cause big problems. But, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the way to avoid that problem is by not hiring those people in the first place.
