Maybe not. Hector has changed over the years, but it's worth remembering
that for all of his endearing and entertaining qualities in 1984, he's the
dude who thirteen years earlier set Zoyd up in a bogus marijuana bust in
service of Brock Vond's vision of America. At that point he wasn't very
different from the scabs who felled the redwood across Jess Traverse's legs,
back in the day.
