  • If I consistently used Noam as a source would you be happier? becuase he has an education green light, would you scoff at him for suggesting there was a world wide 'scam' of insider trading, double standards, colusion between business and governments?

    no maybe not.

    Well, now you have brought Chomsky in to it....
    The point about Chomsky is that he is meticulous with his sources; all the material on which he bases his views can be found through the references in his books. And it is precisely because you seem unwilling to be that meticulous yourself that you are getting a hard time on here. If someone asks Chomsky where he finds his source material he will tell them; he won't say they should UTFS or that there is no point telling them because they won't read it or understand it or they are too brainwashed to deal with it. Do you see my point? You have been your own worst enemy on this thread by your unwillingness to share your sources and the constant way you have implied that anyone who disagrees with you is unable to think for themselves and, in your last post, by your travesty of a portrait of university education; Chomksy himself would not be uncritical of the Acadamy but nor would he go along with your gauche trashing of it.
