>Just to be 'fair'. <g>

Just been (to a Fun) fair here (at the local school).

I've read most of the stuff (one link didn't work) and while I, too, have some reserves on Chomsky's way of doing showbiz, it doesn't mean he's completely wrong. Most of the time (and I was reading his stuff periodically ever since I got connected to Web in 1996) he stops short of showing the evidence to what he says. His wrong methods and wrong image, and, above all, his belief in himself as the guru of the left, still don't mean he got everything wrong. I've read the same things from other sources, and they offered much more insight and evidence. He's just the wrong messenger. He looks just like one of those miserable excuses for opposition that Milosevic was systematically planting; he's pushed into media as a bad example, so the guys who really know what they're saying, and can prove it, don't get the airtime. Basically, he's helping his alleged opponents.

It still doesn't mean he's completely wrong. Use your reason and figure it out for yourself. Freshest news: Spain has revoked the free flow of people over its borders, not for any anti-terrorist reasons, but because about ten thousand people were supposed to protest against yet another summit of the globalist bunch, and the BBC news I saw tonight show that their police was no gentler than police in Seattle or DC.

The worst thing in the fall of communism is that capitalism has lost its primary component: competition. It's predictable that its quality will go down, back to its roots.
