New Harmony

wikipedia was a little bit extended the last days and I found too, one of the first and most prominent patients in the hospital of neurology were Nikolaus Lenau, a poet who traveled to New Harmony Indiana in 1832 and spent there three years from 1844 on.
Depressive poets may spent years in hospitals if they cannot stand the economic principles of the USA, there is no explanation.
Next was a teacher turned assasin in 1913 after he had murdered fifteen persons in Stuttgart and Vaihingen/Enz,shooting, his wish was to spend the night in duke Carl Eugens Bed in Monrepos, Ludwigsburg, some kind of celebrity hunting but why did he extinguish his family of four before?
His family surely were his closest, the other eleven randomly atacked citizens after he set the town on fire. He lived on and wrote plays that were not produced on stage, bad teachers wrote bad stageplays and were bad dramatists, son nothing new at all.
Of course the news is the interview with the hostage and it is a 41 year old father of two, driver of a forklifter who accompanied his wife for therapy that day, we was taken hostage by the seventeen year old assassin, what is the news now here is the route, from the parking lot of the hospital to a four lane road in the middle of the town to Stuttgart and then B 10 exactly to Tübingen, then the U-turn and back to B 313 in two hours of driving, at gunpoint.

Now we know some villages are isolated, we almost do not explain why commuters take the way thirty miles every day from home to factory and one hour to hospital, treatment for depression or psychosis, bad working conditions, the economic conditions in car producing factories, life in a village when the youngsters complain via mobile teachers did not arrive for class, this is the normal condition in a village, extreme close only was, there was one school exactly located close to the mental hospital and institute for neurology and the author of wikipedia did not forget there were 396 patients deported and he wrote Grafeneck. Too this was a military area of Germany before.
Gunpoint, yes is what happened after 9.30 AM, we go back, the father of the assasson co-owned a factory of paper near the airport, he surely took a daily commute of one hour, daily, there is only one point here, books and letters and scripts of André Breton, Paul Eluard, the surrealists, most of the french publishers were produced here, who had a name in design and art found his publisher here and he almost turned one hundred years, despite the complete destruction of Stuttgart and reconstruction and monumentalism and despite neglect of art and sciences. There are long ways for a fotoexhibition on China or the Picasso paintings school classes usually visit, paintings and the donation of 1 000 000 € for a painting of Neo Rauch, one yongster in the province educated in the culture of guns was raised in the prejudices that it is legal to defend property against the mentally inebriated and he was told, he was a loser because he spend his days in middle school, could have been a private school, could have been boarding school, could have been a teacher who defends corporal punishment which was not the case, this was all in the secular system of schools and science and writing, pedantic he arrived at lunch break, 8.40 to 9.25AM, like clockwork.

From town to university once, twice, daily, these routes are not uncommon, seventy miles, for the bookstores, the surgical hospitals, ophtalmology, the tremendous variety of legal literature, the university discussions.

They do it not daily, the hostage included, college education is best in the regional education system, and there were weapon detector long before in american colleges when it was a rule, no police an now weapons on campus because this is the domain of self regulation and academic competition.
There were exemptions, bodyguard in some cases, but, the VIP tried to deliver a lecture, and recensions take place in legal essay writing, or recensions of literature.

There is very much here we cannot explain, and the center of a reasoning is, legality of defending a home against mentally defected persons, the elite against the middle class and the losers against teachers turning to aggression.

We have to live burned and bruised in collective memory for this and a diversity of press reports, only, it will not help much when the literate and educated writers will move on, when ordinary teachers will have lost the appeal again, they face pupils tht are literate in google and facebook and myspace and they, who control the resources on a daily basis, they try to photocopy their tests and exams for history class.

Write on the dotted line.
