    Not making value judgements re: Chomsky, but he filled up the main concert hall, three auditoriums with closed-circut tv, and still turned away a couple thousand. He would have filled the basketball arena which seats 12,000, but nobody was expecting that kind of turnout.

    Maybe I just live in a left-leaning city, eh?

    Either that or the communists traveled to be there.

    I thought that was a democrat fund-raiser. Oh well, same thing I guess.

    Yes,there's certainly no shortage of Commmies and Anarchist in this
    once Great Republic.An example would be the - One Nation Rally -
    which was supposed to be in response to Glenn Beck's
    Restoring Honor - { Aug.28th } on the National Mall.

    Do you know if he talked about how the large corporations do not want a free market but prefer the big fascist government like the one Obama heads?

    No, I don't, but my boy was one of the multitude that didn't get in. Who ever heard of a corporation wanting a free market? I own a small SubS and even I'd like to bury my competition. Free markets are for fools.

    Well, that's the usual argument I see from democrats. Corporations would run wild in a free market and monopolize everything.

    I guess one day, you'll get the bloated government to work for the people..

    Free market does not exist. Free market is pure utopia much more utopic than the anarchism. However free market for me is more a dystopia than a utopia.

    You don't suppose all those giant lobbies are trying to make markets free again, do you? God bless 'em, they're reminding me of MLK more each day.

    Let alone that left and right do not exist (just words used to screw up suckers).
    Chomsky still rocks at 85 (86?). Wow..

    Chomsky really just supports Chomsky. He grooves on adolescent acolytes.

    It does when Republicans don't control it.

    Chomsky is a goofball. He needs to go hang out at Fox and suck up to the Ruppert.
