True. or, it could be just about the cans. He hates these cans.

Well done Box - I keep saying, you need to get on that book......: "Please, TAKE my money!!!"

Nuance - but you'll notice that not only do some people hate cans, they hate them with the full force of an AR15...
...and just like everyone else in the world that is wired just like him, Navin's first response was to blame the cans - not the shooter

So, what did Navin do once he was forced to admit the fact that it isn't the rifle or the cans that are defective - PEOPLE are defective?
He ran off and joined a fucking traveling carnival show.

So what have we learned?
People like Navin don't give a shit that you are a crook passing off stolen credit cards - and he doesn't mind needlessly destroying a church
Even in 1979, Hollywood had a tendancy of NOT blaming the criminal.
"Effective Altruism" is just a three dollar word that means the same thing as Caveat Emptor.

Most importantly, people like Mr Hartounian know whats up, even when people around them are in a panic and blaming everything but the real problem.

I have spoken

Box, well done. A running commentary and philosophical breakdown of contemporary society as demonstrated through the media of early eighties comedy. Excellent!! Almost as good as Swoop's sock-puppetry.

This is the crap that would get me in trouble when I was active duty and a bit of a smart ass. I was blowing out somewhere that was no threat and only for a couple of days. It may have even been local CONUS. The Opso was busting my ass to do my deployment package, PACE plan, register my DNA with the SAR satellite data base, etc. I told the dude that no one read that shit and I'd be right back. He was apoplectic and worried he may get in trouble if I didn't turn in my 30 page power point of "Jm's excellent two day adventure, proof of life, and recovery procedures (assisted and non-assisted)."

So I wildly extemporized on deploying into deep, deep, double-naught-secret cover; how I drew the plasma guns in the 40 mega-watt range, and that I had recently trained and been certified on the sky-crow (an improved version of the cobra (?) glider Kurt Russell rode into New York City as Snake Plisskin). That I had been in communication with Steven Seagal and he lent me his SEAL phone that he used in his destroyer movie but the fucker wouldn't give me extra batteries so I brought along extra glue and rubber bands (don't ask me why I said that). And if all else failed, I'd do what a former SEAL on my dive Team told me once: "If all goes to shit, set some really big shit on fire. They'll find you."

So I submitted that and went about my merry business and did my trip and got back and never, ever, ever, heard a word about it, thereby proving my contention that NOBODY read that shit.
