I don't think he's nuts -- maybe that means I'm nuts! Neil Postman
refers to him constantly in his book "Amusing ourselves to death" (which
by the way is where Ex-Pink Floyd Roger Waters got the title for his solo
project "Amused to death"). He presents a brilliant poststructuralist
critique of television that apparently is bases on Marshall Macluhan's
early work.

Peace,
