"(...)You know this used to be a hell of a good country.
I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.
Everybody got chicken, that's what happened.
Hey, we can't even get into a second-rate hotel.
I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig?
They think we'd cut their throat, man.
They're scared, man.
They're not scared of you.
They're scared of what you represent to them.
Hey man, all we represent to them is somebody who needs a haircut.
Oh, no.
What you represent to them is freedom.
What the hell's wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.
Oh yeah, that's right.
That's what it's all about allright.
But talking about it and being it that's two different things.
I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace.
Don't tell anybody that they're not free, because they'll get busy killing and maiming to prove to you that they are.
Oh yeah they're going to talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom.
But they see a free individual, it's going to scare them.
Well man, it don't make them running scared.
No, it makes them dangerous(...)"
