“ 000... 0000... ”, SHE MOANED AS HE GENTLY CARRESSED HER NAKED TINGLING BODY, “ MORE! MORE! I WANT MORE! ”. And there you have, ladles and gentlemen, what one might refer to as a literary loss leader. I write this little tantalizing tidbit of titillating trivia to whet the appetites of all you porn freaks out there who get your rocks off reading about sOmething‘that you'll probably never do, and then I go on and talk about semething which has nothing to do with sex, like the appalling death toll among infants of the third world.

But hang on sick-0's; maybe I'll use some dirty words or something and you can get your Jollies that way. . But that's the sad, disgusting state of things‘ in our society, isn't it? To get the normal asshole ( there,I used one ) like yourself to. pay attention to anything important you first have to be appealed to.

as some sort of advanced breed of cattle, being fattened on preprocessed ideas, music and images so that we can be easily handled by the slaughter- hOuse’that human society essentially is.

to this the sum total of your life is that you ate, slept, screwed and died, not neccessarily in that order.” But;‘you might well ask, what» the hell am I supposed to do? I am a relatively good person. I've'never killed anyone, I go to church ;ocoasiona11y and I've never provoked a nuclear holOcaust. Fine, fine, that's all fine,

but perhaps you could do Just a bit more. Become.

a Big Brother or Join the Foster Parents Plan. No one‘is asking you to sell your Mercedes or

to sell your record collection and to go live in' the slums of New Delhi, Just a.little something to ease the burden of the world. ~

Just look at the previous generation, and I don't mean the screaming freakies of the sixties. Some of what happened then was extremely important but for the most part it was Just the inadequateﬁ reaction of a pampered people to their own 7' “ guilt feelings. Look back further, to your, ‘ fathers or your grandfathers, many of whdm » were wounded or died fighting for something called King and Country.'Theyididn't Just risk. a few lousy dollars, but their young unfulfilled lives, so that the future would be preserved/* from something which they saw as a real threat.

And so.they made.life saferor democracy, for .us their sonsPandldaughters,‘grandsons and L.. \_grandaughtersi And what do we do with it?‘ Why we use it; damn it. By God,sif ‘TYLaverne and Shirley "ever gets so that ’we don't like it

It might be easy to get all worked up and blame this sad state of affairs on.a corporate conspiracy or something, but storming the head office of ITT isn't really going to solve anything. A corporations main purpose is not to deliberately cut—off the individual from his society but lies, rather, in the simple word PROFIT. They're out to make a buck. If the people who have the money think that having a disposable diaper or a truly effective laxative is more important then feeding the hungry, what's a poor chairman—of—the—bOard\ to do but simply give the suckers what they want and rake in the profits. ’

The action of one individual may not change' much but at least it's a start. So tear .yourself away from your tube or your disco music and do Something. Go to a meeting of any kind and-voice your oppnion, write your llsP. take a Venusian’toglunch. Do anything, but get involved in life in some way. I mean, I know I wouldn't care what a jerk like you has to say but maybe somebody would. '
