don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.”

I did hesitate to like your post – just ’cause of the terribly realistic image… 😦 I met Chomsky at the University, via one of my Professors who still ‘worships’ him, reckoning him as one of the greatest contemporary thinkers…

I am quite impressed by Chomsky myself.
I used that image once before and the impact stayed with me, so I thought it would be appropriate for this post.
