"me revolution begins at home, kill your parents.
That's where its at. Apriit 6, 1969, Stanford, Conn., CHARLIE
HEWITT, 16 years o14, CHARLIE HEWITT, Sr comes home, he's
publisher of the Readers Digest, 173 million readers. Comes
home, says son, I was just in Dallas and I gave an anti-
Yippie speech, its about time you atart living on fatter land.
Charlie said, OK. Bang. They took old CHARLIE dosn to the
hospital and started patching him up. We are going to
eliminate the generation gap. We are going to build a nes
nation, no money, no passports, January is alien registration
month. You ought to check it out at the local post office,
you ought to check it out down there. You ought to go register
and become an alien they say if you don't like it here, you
gonna get out. Said I already did. There is some radio
station in Hartford taking up a collection. I said I'd go
if they got me a jet plane. We got a lot of laughts. Get a
lot of letters. Dear Abbie, Federal Building, Chicago,
Illinois. Like a collection of old letters. If you want to
get in the next book, send a letter down. I ain't going to
be able to write it where I'm going, so you got to write it.
Just like, ah, staple them all together and call it a book.
Put a book jacket on it, sleeves and a zipper, it says
BOOK, book, its a jacket. Yeah, wear it. We aren't doing
things that say here. Oh yeah, is that right. Tough (obscene).
We ain't there, we're another nation. We don't steal, we don't
steal here, we have laws against that stuff. I know you got
a lot of laws, 800 thousand laws in this country against
stealing. Everything from ideas, flowe-s, automobiles,’
elevators, property, is theft. Property already is robbery.
I mean if you oan it you deserve to have it ripped off. That
doesn't mean that we don't respect art. I think the goal of
the revolution ought to be to turn all property to an art.
More and more art. Till you get to be like the Balenese.
Some missionaries asked the Balenese, they said, how come you
ain't got a word for art in your language and they said, we
just do everything the best we can, man. That's a heavy
trip. We just do everything the best we can,
