   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 7, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 14 the stars and stripes thursday August 7,1986 columns con having it Oil buy happiness by a Issax bake nowadays it s All right to want it All. We have advertisements in Pratt of wanting it All. Why Settle for less they ask when you can have it All we have entertainments in which Beau Laiful people find happiness by having ii Alt. We have television commercials in which people who have it All torment people who Don t have it All by nuking them feel Rotten about not having it All. Oozing smugness amidst amazing splendours they a oblique language to say look at How enviable we Are then compare our delightful situation wit your own shabby and deplorable  they display their fantastic dental Caps their stun Ning physiques i hair incredible automobiles their Beautiful lodges and oceans and Mountain and civics i hair ineffably tasty Beer burgers wine pizza. It does t get any Beller than this they say. Which ii another Way of laying we Vegol it  newspapers arc filled with talks of efforts to get Italy. Litton industries for example. Litton industries had j1.53 billion in Pentagon contracts last year. But somebody Al Litton industries said Only ,s3 Bil lion Call that Alir to me and possibly to you having the Pentagon on the cuff for $1.53 billion would seem like having so much that., Well 1 for one would phone for television cameras and say come make some movies of me caressing my .s3 billion in Pentagon contracts flite f Tell the wife and children it does t get any belter than  As you have doubtless read though Litton Indus Trio was t so easily sated. Through Litton systems one of its Many divisions the company fraudulently added Bills and skimmed millions out of the Penta gon budget. In the Best tradition of the 1980s, the folks at Litton wanted it All. Chicken fat was what they called the Money they stole and si5 million is what they agreed to repay the government after pleading guilty to fraud. For the government tis million is More Tike Chicken fee than Chicken fat because like everybody else i desc Days the government wants it All. This is one of the reasons i Haven t tried to have Italy. From experience i know that if somebody brought it All to me and said Here it is All of it you now have it All the government would appear in Stanlly and say so you be got it All he All i would say. All my life other people had it All and i never thought i d have even a i ittle bit but a stranger just came in and gave it to me and now i be got it All just like those Beau Laiful dental capped peo ple in the to commercials and the Pentagon contractors  quit raving you poor sap the government would say. You Don t think a country this big can let people like you have it All do you the government would not speak such Plain  Lish of course. To express the thought embodied m the two preceding sentences it would have o mail me a 350-Page document written in a language comprehensible Only to a handful of lawyers whose Leisure Reading is the Roslta Slonic. In the upshot the government would impound it All give half to Litton industries to keep its division managers from becoming destitute and taking up Ca Reers As Street Muj fers and hous Breakers and assess me the other half fines and penalties after letting me plead guilty to having it All without a License. Another reason i m not struggling o have it Al is that it does t seem to Lead to anything very inter Esting. The Beautiful men and women who want and get it All in the to entertainments never seem to get any thing More satisfying than Dallas or Beverly Hills. In real life they gel photographed with mayor Koch. Or like Donald Trump they put up a bigger building or buy a lousier football team. In the commercials they get a better Beer. That s having it All being allergic to Beer first i sneeze the my nose runs then 1 get sleepy. Or they get a newer car. You know what that Means higher insurance bigger car payments Hub Caps so Beautiful they inspire Hubcap thieves to new Heights of ingenuity. Alt right i m faking it. I m trying to sound As if having it All Means nothing and it s sour grapes. You be heard that old act before How the Plain old country boy with mud Between his toes does t want to have it All because having it All can t buy happiness. Sure it s an act sure i want it All. Absolutely All fit. Everything. Every last Iota Tittle and Jot want for my very own. There s nothing wrong with being hog. Nowadays. Can York Tim never be an innocent bystander  fascinates a about films depicting so much violence w not the shooting knifing and Garrolini of the Good Guys As Well As the bad Guys but the damage done to innocent people in the picture who just Hap pen to be on the scene. When 1 Wych sly Stallone dint Eastwood Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Branson blowing up build Ings smashing can and spraying Lead with sub machine tuns the first thing that comes to mind is How much Burl they in Flat on everyone else in the film. The other night i said out loud in the theater i this Type of picture Worth it of course it s Worth to the Man in the oat Seal Laid. It teaches the audience that violence must beet with  Bui look up on the screen. The super american hat wrecked six can and an orphanage to gel the bad Guy. He s driving like a madman. Who is going to Paylor the wrecked automobiles am the buildings that be super american ii senselessly destroying the super american s liability insurance company the Man said. But the super american did t even Stop to see if the bystanders were Hurt what would you want him to do hold up the movie you have to have continuous action in this kind of film. And when you do that a lot of innocents Are going to gel Hurt. Anyway it s just a  Why Are All the kids in the theater cheering the Man said because they identify with the super american a Lone Warrior fighting the Batteto and the world of rot i said "1 cant believe what i m seeing. The super american just pushed a crowded bus off the pier so that he could improve his line of fire to the Hospital  really pick upon every Little thing Don l you the Man said. What must our children think they probably believe what they tee on the screen is the real thine when you have every lop grossing male Star in hol Lywood fighting to do one of these pictures then you realize that Vitril Antista is Here to stay the Man said. Even if the super american does t care a Fig about constitutional right if the audience does t care Why should he he replied.
