We laugh, but these people, what we hippies called "squares" or "straights", (before "straight" had a sexual meaning), still walk the earth in their millions here in the U.S. They elected Reagan and the Bushes.<br /><br />It's a distinct culture, (the All-Americans as I call them), like the Amish, or the Islamic Wahhabis. <i>Leave It To Beaver</i> come to life. Wholesome, un-fucked-up. Never gone off the deep end or come to the end of their tether. You have to wonder.<br /><br />But yes, Poet Laura-eate, the cars were great.
