I want to be tried not because I support the National Liberation Front -
which I do - but because I have long hair. Not because I support the
Black Liberation Movement, but because I smoke dope. Not because I am
against a capitalist system, but because I think property eats shit. Not
because I believe in student power, but that the schools should be
destroyed. Not because I'm against corporate liberalism, but because I
think people should do whatever the fuck they want, and not because I am
trying to organize the working class, but because I think kids should kill
parents. Finally, I want to be tried for having a good time and not being
serious.
