Yes, I agree. I'm also not sure that running as a super environmental progressive would have been possible at the time. We were just coming out of the timber wars, where the timber industry had spent millions convincing the US that a few hippies chained to trees trying to prevent the last bits of old-growth redwoods from destruction were the problem.

It was a different time and we were very desensitized to the concept of hippy punching etc.
