This relates to the "shit" theme 
there IS a lot of shit in Gravity's Rainbow; 
wrote a song about it.  Wanna hear it? 
(remember that skit on "In Living Color"?)
"oh there's an awful-lotta-shit
in Gravity's Rainbow
uh-huh" Thank you! 

I've done some of my best thinking in classrooms...

more about the screaming: i've read descriptions of accidents where
people hear screaming and realize it's their own

-----
in the post quoted above, David quoted a post of mine where I mentioned
that They only allowed Pirate "small homeopathic doses of Truth" but
section 1,2 actually ends with "by then, the Firm was allowing Pirate
only tiny homeopathic doses of peace, just enough to keep his defenses
up, but not enough for it to poison him."
