"Basically they're staunch conservatives--puritanical in a way--they are people who are compulsive about work. They will work themselves to death until the work is done.
"Their attitude is more one of distrust. If they smoke, they care enough about their parents to keep it from them. They know their parents are smart, and aren't gonna want to change their views. They don't travel this 'hip' and 'groovy' street.
"You know the thing a freakoid cracker hates most in the world? Platform shoes on a male. In any hip crowd you can spot the freakoid cracker. He'll be looking with utter disdain on the guy flying around with the four-inch platform heels. The English mod look.
"Around Gainesville, which I call the greatest marijuana terminal in the Western World, they're a lot of em growing marijuana on their farms. Course students started all that before, but it's caught on with the people with families. Now it seems like everybody is longhair in a way.
"These people are always completely ready to defend themselves. The man with a family keeps thinkin that somebody is gonna come up to 'im with a tommy gun and they're ready for it.
"Which is why you've had such a rough time tryin' to find 'em. In this state there are a group of fanatics who believe that dope is evil, and they're fightin tooth and claw to wipe it out. Jesus freaks are nothin compared to narcs, and especially local narcs. They're bible totin statute quotin freaks and in my opinion they are the lowest type of scumbag because they'll get in with you and then betray you. The only character out of the Bible they forget to cite is Judas.
"Still, the majority's tolerant of marijuana, and it's been growing on more and more corners of farms ever since D-day, whenever it was that dope hit the country, about six years ago.
"Now veterans are ruining the image of veterans. They hate Nixon and his phonies. Maybe one day this group of Americans is gonna get the idea that they can change the country around and when the rednecks and freakoid crackers get their piece of land and start fightin for just causes, ain't nobody gonna see it comin but one day people are gonna open their eyes and then there'll be a revelation."
