That's a heavy trip, I know. Everything free? America, land
of the free. Right? Well, like my old man told me at early
age. Free means you don't pay. Why pay? Like old GINZY
last week. (ALLEN GINSBERG) He wasup here, huh. Old Jew
bastard. Friend of mine. Said, “When can I go in the super-
market and buy what I want with my good looks?" You know,
tant. AGM wane hase ee nme 2,7, 2,42
ten years ago it took 480 man hours to produce &n acre O27
corn, Today it takes 48, Five years it'll take four years.
And in ten years it will take four minutes. One acre of
corn. So we just say yippies’ member of the working class
only he's on strike. Partly ‘cause we recognize there are
no jobs worth doin’. Are no jobs worth doin. But you got to
work, man, whereby got to work. That's why you got to be
in school. -Preventive detention, that's what schools are,
Nursery schools. And the Army. Keep kids in there. So he
can‘t get out and realize that there are no jobs out there.
And if they find something they aren't worth doing. I was in
school. I remember, I don't know, like if they do it up in
this area, but when I was young they taught you how to make
ovals, see, and vou had to draw these little circles in
OT ee ap ew renee in eS ee) ae oe Tr Se a ene
between these two lines. You kept, lke doing that and doing
that and doing that over and over and over again ‘til I got
a masters degree, you know, And then they teach you how
to sit. Like this. (illigible - away from microphone) Like
that. How're you going to get stoned that way? You got
to sit that way.
Discipline, control, brainwashing. Oh oh, Don't
a3 ..3 1% am he
talk about brainwashing, man. (illigibie) Cuba, talk about
. world revolutions, socialism, that's brainwashing. I saw
it on TV. That's what they call brainwashing. Farmer Jones
has four apples and he brings them to town sells them for 2
“cents each. How much profit does he make? That's mathematics.
That's not brainwashing, though. Columbus. Columbus dis-
covered America. Whoo. How'd he do that, there are
people here. Well, like see then you figure out this dis-
cover means: White western power, conquerers, non-white,
non-western power. That's what discover means and you have
-a whole means of history.
Work, yeah, I know. (illigible) Catholic school.
'
Hey, I got no quarrel with Christ. He is a hippie. Doin
his thing. Driving money changers from te temple. Whooo.
Class revolution. Slave revolt. Call it religion. Ok,
that's cool. Keep flying brother, don‘t tell them what
you're into. You call it religion, that's good, Hey, he’s
groovy, see. He went all the way. Then came the dsstiples,
see. DTnsciples, like kids in a course, uh, that's like get A.
