Sandra B and Jesse J and Why Can't They Just Get Along

                       

    Ex-Officious Authority:
 
* Begin with instructions
 and guidelines for group  work.
 
* Address the ways in which
 groups could go astray.
 
* Construct a rubric by which
the groups will be evaluated.
 

Colleagues, My Colleagues:
   
I presume to think (grandiosely) I’m tossing out Improvised
Explosive Devices that might penetrate our industrialized
Bushmaster infantry mobility vehicles, armored institutionalized
Stuart tanks & derail the ongoing march  &  parade down
SACS fifth avenue and what Saint Ray  calls the Halls of
Obsolescence.                              
 



















But I lack the weaponry, heat  seeking muscle tactics or a
strategic plan. Matter of timing, says Buckminster Fuller whose
geodesic solutions to housing and transportation  merely boot
scoot & scutter across the  cogs of our systemic infernal
machinery:  ping pong balls in the lottery dispensary,
raining rice crispis off a rhino’s shoulders..

           To   Be Nice  To be Good
                    To be Nice & Good
                          (Dr Jackal)
 
             To be Not Nice To be Not Good
                               either
                 (Mr. Hide Yr Love Away)
 
Try and hose-down the culture-connotations velcroed
onto our WORDS for just a moment: the Good & Evil
habit or as Mark Twain calls it:  “That Damned Moral
Sense,” and ask yourself:
 
                 Who do you  I..D. with?
 
                 Sandra      or       Jesse
                Bullock               James
 
       In your dreams of course, not in waking life.
  
Explore your motivation.  No,  seriously: examine the
underlying basis, fundament & foundation  determining
your choice
 
               to be                        to be
               a                              a
              Sandra                     Jesse
 
                      We can argue.
 
Let’s say (arbitrarily and always for the sake of argument),
there are   2 Pedagogies (you know, like the way William
James reduces his Varieties of Religious experience to the
 
              Healthy      & the         Sick
              Minded                       Souled
 
& treated them both with equal respect and appreciation
—a fundamental either/or ).
 
OR how my colleague G__ H___ constructively collapses
the process of Composing into 2 Economies
 
Imagine:
 
              The School                   The School
              of Sandra                      of Jesse.
 
Where would you want to matriculate?
Choose your Alma Matrix.
 
Can you imagine an Uber School that might could host &
accommodate both Sandra-ites And the Jesse James?
 
                      Just Getting Along
 
That would be awesome.
In my dreams.

[[Just whistling in the wind here. It’s always going
 to be Sandy Bullock School Forever, the dominant
 pair of  dimes.  Jesse James can be nothing  but
 outlaw territory toward frontiers yet unknown  not
with standing: legendary fodder for graduation speeches
and trustee dinners, Lion’s Club, Rotary  and Kiwanis;
but  actually our  marginal values must remain  under
 cover up and in denial, too disturbing & incompatible
 with Sandy Bullock-ism ]]
