rad oy ew mortuaries and drive-in ice cream parlors and drive-in movies and drive-in schools, drive-in golf courses, and stay out of the streets. Wo said, screw, we're going out in the streets. *And so weird is school, huh? Spring offensive; Harvard, Columbia, and San Francisco State and Berkeley and in New York in the last three weeks, ten high schools got closed by kids who say we don’t wanna learn that crap. It aint crap. Huh? History, that's a good course. Schools, Columbus discovered America. That's out of sight. There were people here. So what does that mean? How can you discover a country where there are people living here? Ho ho and you find out, well, discover means that a western white power conquers a non-white, non-western power. That's what discover meant. Oh, but the Indians didn't write the history books, and history, like Napolean said, is a commonly heid belief set upon, set of lies. When you're in power, you write the history books. You give the math courses. When I was in school, I learned to make ovals. Did you have that up here? These little circles. We were talking about that today; I[°1l never forget - first of all they tell you how to sit, like this, right, remember this? You can never get stoned in that position. They said if you don't do this, you'll always walk around this way, right? I never did that, and I don't walk around this way. I can't figure it out, the liars. They said we'll teach you how to make ovals, these little circles between these two lines, see, and you gotta do it with your whole arm, and you gotta keep doing this and doing this and doing this and doing this. I got a Master's Degree in this. Ovals. So what? Had to unlearn it. Unlearn it. When I met the liberals, I unlearned it damn well. " Mississippi; arrested once ina town in Mississippi for going through a red light. They didn't have a red light in the whole town. Threw me in a cell. See, what the other prisoners said, he's a civil rights worker. Beat the shit out of him, he'll let you go and give you a pint of liquor. And he did. They beat you up outside, see, and then the Justice Department come down, John Doe and all his flunkies; liberals say this is terrible, what's happening to you, you know, you'll] be lying on the ground there, yea, right, it's terrible. They'd say call us up in Washington. Call us re ren er re er nr! RU PRE ao
