In 1993 I was reading "The Minutemen and Their World," a classic work on the American Revolution, on a plane. The middle-aged white guy sitting next to me looked at the book and pointedly asked "that's not one of those [sneer] *revisionist* history books, is it?"
We've always been at war with EastRevisionism.
If I remember correctly, I took advantage of the situation to share with my seatmate a cool factoid I'd just learned from the book--that about 1/3 of all first births recorded in Concord in the revolutionary era were conceived out of wedlock. I'm all about the small victories. 
1993 was the heyday of "traditional family values" after all...so I figured a little counterprogramming might eventually have some impact.
