The more I think about it, the more Noam Chomsky is just DEAD ON
in his writings about the corporatists and the power-hungry warmongers and their grab on the media, too.

1. duh. lol :)
I am a big Chomsky fan. He really is a serious thinker, and ought to garner a lot more respect in the political community than he does.

3. Noam is Wayyyyyy before his time
One of my favorite phrases is relevant today,"Manufactured Consent" of the public. taken from Noam's most recent Imperial Ambitions.

5. I've been reading him lately too. Seems to be on the mark.

This link http://www.wikiverse.org/noam-chomsky#Unofficial%20archives has links to online writings and audio files. There are a lot of MP3's of his lectures and interviews out there as well, if you google for them.

He seems to back up his points really well, too, and the optimism is amazing.
