Aggression in the Classroom and the Art of Teaching

The newspapers are falling.
The newspapers are falling.

“For an increase in power and
speed in any kind of grouping
of any components whatever
is itself a disruption that causes
a change of organization.”

I delivered on 6 paper routes:
3 Hartford Courants in the am;
3 Hartford Times after noon..

Boulevard & Farmington Avenues,
me: biking across West Hartford
twice a day on a fat-wheel
Schwinn: up hill going
& coming. .

Paper boys. Gutenberg Galaxy
gone with the wind:. the black
berry winter of my discontent
universally proliferate, no longer
pre-packaged fish wrap info; any
one with a lap top & stimulus
package educating them selves
on global issues & local food &
all that jazz, cutting out middle
myn, paper boys & traditional
delivery systems with a personal
game of pocket pool even as the
President relays his sort-of state
of the union address to Nancy
Pelosi’s applause.

Why continue to pay for the
slaughter of trees?
Unconscionable
Unsustainable.

Media is the message.
Newspapers are failing.
Implications are exponential.
And ramifications

“Lack of homogeneity in speed
of information movement creates
a diversity of patterns in organization.
It is quite predictable that any new
means of information will alter
any power structure.”

“Roads and Paper Routes”
Understanding Media. (1964);
