ABBOTT H. HOFFMAN
“motherfuckin planet and be free and participate in tne good
life. Not for just a few select people, like the pigs that run
this university or the pigs that run the Army or sit in Washington
or run the corporations. We want it for everybody. We want the
new nation for everyone in the world. And it can be done: Right
in this university! I bet the universities, they say well, uh,
well we can build a better mouse trap. They're universities,
they can build better mice. There's some heavy shit going on.
Ninety percent of the scientists that ever lived arealive right
now today, did you know that? That's an amazing statistic.
They're alive right now today. They got machines that make fifty
billion hotdogs. We can go to the moon. We can do anything!
We will not accept the cynicism that's pushed down us by the
heroine pushers called teachers in this fuckin university. We
will not accept that cynicism. That's what American education
teaches everybody--~be cynical. Well these are complex things ,
there are sides to both questions, men (several words indistinct),
ah, you can't fuck arourid now, save it for later when you retire.
Bullshit! We retired, we retired, we deserted, love it or leave
it. I left! We left! Stick those values, because capitalism,
capitalism's got to go and the protestant bullshit ethic has got
to go too. Postpone pleasure, put your money in the bank--your
life ain't worth anything unless you got a $50,000 life insurance
