unless a man has been utterly disciplined in his life, never indulging in the unimportant sideshows of life, the hobbies and curiosities and entertainments of so many among the masses, he is incapable of reasoning on the level of chomsky. it is nothing to be ashamed of. still, chomsky's voice, as leveller of the masses, is unmistakable and true. he is the linguist of our age, a linguist in a time when language exploded.
i am not ashamed of having heroes. this is typical, solemn human behavior. chomsky is the only voice in the michaelsphere to have never, ever lied or told a half-truth. i have never found flaw with his reasoning, (not a surprise but an impressive fact all the same.)
chomsky's voice is as close as i get to trusting implicitly. it is my value to trust little-i am into verifying. it is with this idea in mind that i direct you, (to click on the header above that says, "chomsky,") to chomsky's comments on the financial crisis.
chomsky is so dense in his meaning when he writes, it can be difficult to follow him. still, if you read this article you can see how wrong-headed the prevailing thought is on our current financial crisis as well as several other related issues. check it out.

It's perhaps dangerous to leave a comment when I have only scanned the article, but I read his estimation of the Labor movement and Unions and can't help but wonder if it's not actually the leaders in the Unions themselves that are destroying the Labor movement, not merely the Coporate moguls or Business Sector whom it's easy to point fingers at.
The Union leaders, due to their self interests, are not acting in the best interests of the people (?). This is a people problem
It seems to me that the lack of unity within any 'dissenting' group is the problem also. I mean, what is it going to take to reclaim our freedom?
I don't know enough.
