3404. When he said that I had the feeling that I
was getting a look at the real Bluto, the one behind the character that was
inventing arguments about everyday things just to be contrary. The question of
what Bluto really thought bothered me a great deal and sometimes kept me awake
at night thinking about it.
3405. I wondered if Bluto was just playing a role
like a character in a movie. Just because someone loses their temper and yells,
screams and bangs the steering wheel with their fist does not mean that they
are really upset, and doesn’t even prove that they believe what they are
saying.
3406. Bluto could have just been acting. But when
actors act they do it for many reasons; for an audience, for money, or for fame
but for Bluto there was nothing. Why would Bluto choose to act like a deranged
political fanatic? No, I thought, Bluto is not acting; under it all
is something real.
3407. The next thing I
wondered about was the logic of the arguments. For example, he was
insisting that the Coca Cola Company wanted to damage my teeth. But, obviously
he realized that they did not want that to happen. Cigarette makers don’t
want people to get cancer, that is not the purpose of the product; it is an
unfortunate side effect.
