I realize that Noam is a mental genius and I just a pygmie but in this case, I "hope" he is mistaken.

I shall say it once again here at ET. Pay no attention to what Obama says to get elected. JUST WORDS to get enough people to vote for him so he gets into the White House. What WILL matter are his actions once he is in.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: World (none / 0)

Ha, I thought just the opposite: no matter what the issue is ole Chomsky will always get it at least partially wrong.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: This is really stupid but (none / 0)

I'd love to see the likes of Noam Chomsky, Ray McGovern (hope his health is OK; prostate problems are no joke), et al blogging here. Progressives across the spectrum, not just the financial geniuses.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
