They (writers, directors & actors) were young and living in a time and 
culture where such discourse was normal.  Criticizing the dialog in Easy 
Rider from a perspective over 30 years later is unfair.  At the time it 
broke new ground in film making, even if it now seems trite.  It still 
deserves respect.
