    I got to see Noam Chomsky speak at MIT on the current terrorism situation, awesome stuff....here is a lame capitalist rich harvard punk that got up and tried to give him a hard time after the speech, and Chomsky lays into him...be sure your sound is on, and enjoy it.

    I think I was emailed this presentation. It was about 70kb in size - I still haven't gotten around to finishing it.

    I've been waiting for it to download for about half an hour.Does it do it automatically?
    No download box has opened or anything like that.
    Maybe you should make it a bit easier to see how it downloads.

    Chomsky can be a twat at times, he can be proper anti-commie at times, u have to just use his anti-cap arguments, then ignore the rest

    I haven't read too much chomsky but I found he came across as thinking the US was the greatest even though he was saying they were assholes.
    Almost as if the responsibility of the actions of the US gov. lies solely with the politicians and not with the people.
    But he's got some good stuff about the crappy free press and covert operations etc.

    "Almost as if the responsibility of the actions of the US gov. lies solely with the politicians and not with the people. "

    ohhhhhhhhhhh man, that is the exact opposite of Noam...he is all about the responsibility of the people. listen to the answer he gives on the link i posted and you will understand his views better.

    Like I said fashionquote I haven't read much chomsky yet so I'll likely change my mind on him as I read more.

    The site won't load for me 4 times I've been there and the thing won't play.
    I think it's my computer settings or something.
