We're not talking about a society *that* far removed from our own.  The 
movie is set 37 years in the future from the time of its release.  The 
businessmen, the political leaders, the experienced journalists, the law 
enforcement officers, the teachers, the lawyers, the... the everybody in 
that world, rwally...  are the teenagers sitting in movie theathers in 
1982.  Is Scott really telling them "37 years from now, cops are going 
to shoot defenseless women in the back on the streets of L.A., and none 
of you are going to give a rat's rump"?
