Kool-Aid Acid Test
I love this quote from Kesey as they set out on the 'happening' bus.
"All of us are beginning to do our thing, and we're going to keep doing it, right out front, and none of us are going to deny what other people are doing." "bullshit" says Jane Burton. This brings Kesey up short for a moment, but he just rolls with it. "Thats Jane," he says. " And shes doing her thing. Bullshit. Thats her thing and shes doing it" "None of us are going to deny what other people are doing. If saying bullshit is somebodys thing, then he says bullshit. If somebody is an ass-kicker, then that's what he's going to do on this trip, kick asses. He's going to do it right out front and nobody is going to have anything to get pissed off about. He can just say,'im sorry i kicked you in the ass, but im not sorry im an ass-kicker. thats what i do, i kick people in the ass.' Everybody is going to be what they are, there's not going to be anything to apologize about. What we are, we're going to wail with on this whole trip."
