CV 176-97 got to do with the university? What's that got to do with learning? What's that got to do with free education? Free education is a joke in this country. You can't learn what~ ever you want. I can’t learn what I want in college. I want to learn guerrilla warfare. You people keep telling me to split. You think I’m going to learn that. No. There's not a big market for that. That's the thing. I don't want to go. See, and the people who come to the lower East Side see, especially those who drop out of school, you know, like I did. Right. Especially those kind of people realize that what they learned in the colleges and universities wasn't any good to them in terms of survival in the jungle. They would have been better off going into the Army or going to prison because those kinds of skills are skills that we need. That kind of, well, debated the issues. Well, the issues, the issues are in. We concerned with how we solved very direct problems on the lower East Side, how we defend ourselves, how we feed everybody free, how we clothe everybody. We have free stores. We give away everything free. Because our vision, and this is the only way we see out of this dilemma, is to give away everything free. To work towards that society, where, you know, the technology and the ser- vices and the goods that a society produces are available to whoever wants them, come what may. And you work towards that. You work to- wards full unemployment. I know that sounds like very heavy stuff, but, it's gonna happen in 50 years anyway. r._ 2.2% 45 até 22
