Henry, you might be right about that--and maybe not. I thought then that it was a method of denigrating Washington, a way of showing disdain for America's policies overseas and at home. The USA was in a time of tension and internal turmoil. The so-called left had splintered to shards of extremes, some of which manifest themselves in Chicago, Watts, Kent State, a union organization with Chavez, Black Panthers, Poor People's March, White House halls haunted by Nixon in the decline of his presidency; the so-called right wing represented by such organizations as the John Birch Society, DAR--no offense, ma'ams--KKK, FOX News (I jumped the gun a bit on that one), well, hell, what we all got for those efforts was the 1970s followed by the 1980s and fu#kin' disco! The revolution died when bell bottom pants became stylish by being creased.
