“Well, see it's that vision. It's that vision that
brought us to Chicago, so we can have a festival of life.
Life, joy, that French cat over there in France, just read
his book, he said revolution will be built on joy, not on
sacrifice. Well, what's joy? Fighting for what you believe
in is joyous. September 24, 1969, biggest circus in the
world opens in Chicago. Trial of .the conspiracy. We applied
for permits to sleep in Lincoln Park, eight of us, since they
were so nice to us the last time, we had such a good time,
we're going back. Don't come, don't come, don't come on
September 24, 1969, to Chicago, Lincoln Park. Do not come.
Did you get that, FBI? Don't come. If itda said do, I'd get
another ten years. Well, guess then there's school, right?
Well, they're all right-nursery schools, they give ya pablum,
lousy food and biocks to play with and call it education. Hey,
look at Cuba down there. You know I saw this special on TV ~
@ couple weeks ago and they said, let's show the kids studying
in class, world revolution, Socialism, and all this. Brainwashing.
Heavy. Brainwashing, huh. Not like here, we have free education.
Everything's free. Open discussion of ideas. That's baloney,
like, take any course. Like mathematics, OK. When I was a
young kid they said Farmer Jones had four apples, he brought
them into town to sell them for two cents each. How much
profit did he make? Oh, that don't count. That'smt brainwashing,
right? Math class, why don't you go in there and ask then,
how many atrocities did the U.S. commit today in Vietnam?
What was the number? All right. This is a math class. Take
that up in Civics. That's math. Walter Cronkite's adding
them up. How many troops desert? last year, fifty-two thousand
troops deserted. Another fifty thousand draft dodgers. That's
a hell of an Army. Support our boys in Canada. Two weeks ago,
eighty soldiers in Fort Carson in Colorado took their Ml6's and
went over the wall, and they're up in the Rocky Mountains.
Government's like afraid to go after them. It would be a
heavy trip in the Rocky Mountains. They're not in to destroying
the ecology of the land. Defoliation, huh?
