We returned to Kristiania early in the
afternoon. The population of the town appeared
to have doubled while we were gone. Everywhere
there were half naked hippies. Most were just
lying around with frightened expressions.

In front of the lodge, a particularly active
group marched around in circles. The carried
blank placards and chanted, “hell no, we won’t
go!” They seemed quite angry.

I leaned over to a nearby hippie who was playing
a guitar and singing a song about parking lots.
“Are they protesting us?” I asked him, thinking
back to Starshine’s comments about us the night
before.

“No, he answered. They are protesting the
attacks.”

I was taken a back by the lack of logic. I
mentioned it to Franklin.
