First of all to set the stage, we were a bunch of young people who migrated to San Francisco mid-sixties, me personally, Summer of Love, 1967 so called. Had been in New York City. Tried to break into off Broadway theatre. Sort of being a beatnik, being, thinking myself to be a rebel type. When all these interesting looking papers started to appear on the newsstands in the Village, such as the San Francisco Oracle. And I am reading in the San Francisco Oracle that people like Alan Ginsberg, who i had read as beatniks, talking about "God", and all this incredible art work and all this energy coming out of this newspaper where all these people are really excited, they're obviously having a really good time, they're obviously having interesting psychic and spiritual adventures; that was just very compelling...

Lazy. Panhandlers. Don't know where you fit in -- you're f'n lazy. You're grandpa Stalin would be proud of you.

Let's not forget about all the child molestation that was not only practiced there, but accepted and considered normal.

If you really want the REAL history of the Farm, look on Wikipedia. It's all about no running water, wife swapping, and the sacred powers of marijuana. The spiritual leader was in a six marriage where the men would pass their wives around each night. Is this what liberated women do? Especially during a sanitation breakout involving bad water and poor hygiene. Yuck.

Light??? what a bullshit term. Unless your talking about Lucifer the "LIGHT BEARER"

Ask any freemason worth his apron, he'll tell ya.
