Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Well, why should I be surprised. Have you ever read Chomsky? Favorite of mine. And Howard Zinn too. The World Bank and WTO and all of those neocons and their groupies seem to be getting more exposure than they want.

What an aggravation. And then there are all the subsidies to the farm factories. And the subsidies are absolutely endless...Monsanto under whatever name. To my way of thinking we are subsidizing Bush to destroy our democracy, make us idiots in the eyes of the world (of course we are), and murder the innocent in the "war." So the governments in Europe don't subsidized their oil companies with the peoples tax monies? linda fraggle Gas is only cheaper here then in europe because here we subsidize the oil companies, fer drilling and the like...so, technically, our costs are just as high, as our tax dollars go to the oil companiesthe us oil industry was given almost $3 billion the other year to aid in domestic exploration...the us oil industry pays about the lowest coporate tax rates there are (11%) To send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Really exceptionally bad that Zinn isn't used in the schools for American History. Chomsky would certainly unhinge the American public's outlook on themselves. He is the bane of existence for the powers here and they do whatever they can to emasculate him. But when ever either come here or close by they speak to packed crowds. They are both getting older and don't travel out here as much as they did. I heard Zinn a few years back...he is a wonderful speaker/lecturer and has a terrific sense of humor. linda "Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it."Mohandas Gandhi linda's Growing Stitchery Projects: womyn47 - fraggle chomsky..zinn...hmmm..name sounds familiar...hmm hee...yes, they are two of my favespeoples history of the United States should be a required read fer americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
