  • Over all, many of society's values are a cesspool.

  • I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don't feel that it was violent and terrible.

  • You can't win for losing. Either you fulfill their stereotype of being a radical 60's person or you've sold out. In fact, of course, millions of people who were active in the 60's are doing work on issues that try to reflect their values.
