Dr. Noam Chomsky
A Professor of Linguistics at MIT, Dr. Chomsky was an early critic of the U. S. involvement in Vietnam. He has written numerous books on American foreign policy, drawing the conclusion that U.S. interests in human rights, justice, and morality are inevitably subordinated to big business profit taking. His latest work is “Hegemony or Survival.”
Some Chomsky quotes:
Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s a really easy way: stop participating in it.
If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.
