L.. re
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? LTast 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 M16'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?
“There were forty-two friends, two days ago they
got arrested, stopping a big syndicate frm ripping out
Redwood forests in California, chewing it all up. That
ain't my trip, I mean, I don't know if they wanna clean up
after the mess, it's OK. In a way, it don't seem right,
huh, those trees, they oughta be living just like people.
Just like kids.
“You know Nebuchadnezzar, this old pig in Babylon
a long time ago, they got all the law and order freaks
together and they said, what are we gonna do, see about these
kids cuttin’ up, diggin’ the Beatles, lettin' their hair
grow long? Smokin’ pot? They said, well, we'll build an
idol, see, we'll call it m@loch, and we'll get the parents
to come down and feed their kids into the idol, and they
sold them that and their parents came down and threw their
kids in the ido] and down went Babylon, Now we don't need
moloch because we got the government to do that trip -
killing kids. They aren't kids; I'm thirty-two, huh? I's
a kid forever. That's what it is now, being freaky, you're
always young. Immaturity, we love it.
'S was at a school about four weeks ago in Ohio.
They threw ovt the kids' favorite teacher cause he was
eating cupcakes at a faculty meeting. He used the word
“bitch" in front of another teacher. They said they were
Gismissing him on grounds of immaturity. We'd make him a
general in the Yippies. We are the people eur parents
want us again.
“The streets are a good place to learn stuff, 80
the parents don't want to keep you in the street. Right.
It's all, get out of the street, there's violence,
in the streets and all the whores in the gutter and pimps
and get out of the streete. Stay indoors. Go to drive-in
