I would even say that it wasn't just fear that made people
angry, but the repression they felt at having to adhere to
this button down happy family image. They had to smile like
Ozzy and Harriet, but what they really wanted to do was blow
people away like Mike Hammer. I think Hammer provided a
needed pressure release at the time. Of course now people
will shoot you if you don't signal when you change lanes.
