my god... This is very scary.
This makes it sound like our country is being run by a bad General Manager.
Which is totally true.
Wow

Doesn't Chomsky scream "America is stupid" in his speeches? Not literally but figuratively. I wonder why he is not in politics with all that talent....like Moore but on a diff level. When I listen to him I always ask myself when is he going to offer a solution?

I don't think chomsky is into making public policy, he's just interested in how things work, usually the bits where govt says one thing and does something else.

which goes a long way to explaining why he is a professor of linguistics.

dissidents are by their nature apart from governement.
I think he is a semantic genius and as a side effect, understanding language so well
makes observation of government enraging but i imagine hugely entertaining...

the bit that blew my mind is where the guy asks him how he would attack Iran, if he were to try to topple the government, and he gives a brilliant strategy that could have come from the depths of a Kissinger or McNamara. the reason there aren't more noam chomskys is because they're all working for rand or the harvard business school.

sorry for being a posting hog, but does anyone see this tying in to economic desperation actions?
is the administration seeking cheap energy for sub-prime crash that seems likely?
its been on my mind for a month or so and i'm not completely sure what the stock market is doing ....

i think the whole boom/bust thing is functioning as it always has, right on cue-the banks will get more properties, people will have less savings. it has gotten a little overzealous, but i don't think it's out of the ordinary. as far as the energy policies, same thing-the basic goals haven't changed, but the hawks went a bit overboard with the execution.
