Robert Shea Quote

Allen Ginsberg—sitting amid a huddle of Yippies off to the right—began chanting again, as he had all evening: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare…. Ginsberg believed; he believed in everything—in democracy, in socialism, in communism, in anarchism, in Ezra Pound’s idealistic variety of fascist economics, in Buckminster Fuller’s technological Utopia, in D. H. Lawrence’s return to preindustrial pastoralism, and in Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Voodoo, astrology magic; but, above all, in the natural goodness of man.
