uh. . what are you gonna do in this nursery school, huh?
Play with the blocks. Play with the blacks. It's a business,
You know it's something 1. . I saw this film about Cuba and
they say aw they're brainwashing them in their education. Look
what they’re learning. All this stuff about socialism. And
this, and revolution, and that's brainwashing, right? But
like . .uh . . what about our educational system. I mean whan
I was a young kid all I learned how to do was to sit in this
funny weird position, you know, like I could never do. And
like make these little ovals. . over and over and over and over
and over, and they said you unconscious yet and I say yeah and
they say you get an A in this course. Mathematics, like.

Brainwashing.
"There's a rung picked out though. Right. Sales
Executive. Salesman. I was a salesman, Made 15,000 a year.

$18,000 home. Mowed the lawn even. F---mowing the lawn.
Crazy. Crazy practics. But I had to keep busy. I had to

Keep them doing dirty work. You gotta go to school if you
don't wanta do dirty work. What the h--- is dirty work? Is
that some kind of aristrocracy? Dirty work. There's dirty
work and there's clean work. In thia system, it's all dirty.
The whole work is dirty because people are selling their souls
out. Well, I'm with you. I dig your gold. But not your
methods. Like. I'll be with you after I get my degree. Ha!
Ha! Degree!
