http://www.salon.com/2013/08/17/chomsky_the_u_s_behaves_nothing_like_a_democracy/ There are some real irritations in this piece, mainly the mention of details he doesn't have time to go into, but the broadness of his view down the years puts our current dilemmas into perspective. Those who would have you blame any particular president, the "liberal" media, terrorists...are not seeing the forest but trees, and most of the trees are optical illusions anyway. IMO.
He doesn't global warming, but the spectre of destruction through pollution is all too present. And our government, as an entity, not a group of personalities, is the chief culprit..currently.
