Free society like the fathers laid it out, you know, America, land of the free. Oh, my old man said at an early age, said free means you don't pay. When can I go to the supermarket and buy what I want with my good looks? That's what Ginsberg said. Beautiful cat. That's the program for the future, everything free. Well, how we gonna do it. Well, you like, I don't know how it is with wheat out here, but like with corn, aboutten years ago it took 480 man hours to process an acre of corn. Today it takes 48; in five years it'll take four, and in ten years it will take four minutes. We'll have corn, we'll have popcorn, we'll have ‘everything; caramel corn, any kind you want, free. Why not? “We put out a booklet called, F... the System, in New York. Fifteen thousand free copies. Thirty-two pages, right there, everything, how to get it free.

We'll call it religion, OK. That's sneaky. That's really «+ good. Never tell them what you're doing. Religion, yea, OK, so he gothis thing, pigs nailed him up. They were poured out in the catacomos, just like the hippies going out in the communes. [Later I'll tell you how to fly in an airplane free. Now to dig on. So then came the disciples, see, and they're feeling kinda guilty, they said, hey, he was really serious, man, did you see what he did; did you see the way he spent his Easter vacation? He was very serious. If we gotta be that serious, what are we gonna do? They were all sitting around there, Mark and John and all these guys, and John says, I got an idea, why don't we dress in black - that's serious, They say, OK, sounds good.
