Prabhupāda: . . . prohibited?
Hari-śauri: In the park?
Prabhupāda: Yes, it is written there.
Hari-śauri: Because they don't want the park full of drunks.
Rāmeśvara: The children, they don't want them soliciting children or the children to drink anything. It's to protect the children.
Prabhupāda: That means it is bad.
Devotee: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: They know it is bad, but they say that everyone has to make his own choice.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They know it is bad, but they like it.
Prabhupāda: Will these parents like that the children may have liberty to follow a dark path? Will the father like?
Rāmeśvara: No.
Prabhupāda: Then why the government doesn't . . .?
Hari-śauri: They're making too much revenue to stop selling it.
Prabhupāda: That is not good government.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The parents are bad also.
Rāmeśvara: They put an age limit on it. They say you can only buy liquor when you have reached a certain age.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They want the children to be good, but the parents are bad.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They want the children to be good, but the parents are all bad.
Rāmeśvara: I think you have to be eighteen years old.
Prabhupāda: Then you become bad.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Before you become bad. (laughter)
Prabhupāda: Very good philosophy. Eighteen years, you become bad.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: All their culture of goodness is wasted.
Rāmeśvara: Also there are these nightclubs, you have to be a certain age before you can go in.
Prabhupāda: "Afro-American Art." What is this?
Hṛdayānanda: I think it means art by American black persons.
Rāmeśvara: Afro-American means people with dark-skinned bodies, they have painted these paintings.
Hari-śauri: One of the big problems that you read about a lot now is how parents are confused about how to educate their children, because there are so many different standards, and they don't know how their children will turn out anymore.
Prabhupāda: Here is our standard—to make him devotee.
