It still seems like some of the films and literature were a bit subversive, but I can see where this was the beginning of some political trends that still impact us today.

Also - the bicentennial - I was a child so had no understanding of how it was being crammed down our throats - but the Colonial American home design - ugh! Haunts me to this day.

I was also keenly awed of the beating labor was taking as my dad was a UAW shop rep. It was certainly the beginning of the end for that part of our economy.
