Noam Chomsky

NOAM CHOMSKY began working at M.I.T. in 1955, the year I was born, and hundreds of books and thousands of lecturs later, he's still there, a professor of linguistics and philosophy, a social and political analyst, and a social activist. He has done for the science of linguistics what Einstein did for theoretical physics. Besides all that, he believes that every American president since World War Two was/is guilty of war crimes, and should be tried accordingly. And if you don't think he has a solid set of facts and arguments to back up his position, trying reading his publications, and remember; M.I.T. doesn't put up with intellectual fraud. Chomsky is lucky to have a job at all; he couldn't get hired at any public school in America, precisely because he tells the truth, he backs it up, and the truth isn't pretty. The truth does not sound pleasant or patriotic. The truth about American history is seldom taught in American public schools. Heaven only knows what he thinks about pre World War Two presidents; very little, most likely. A lot of thought and facts going into it, not much respect coming out of it, most likely. As you might expect, many people disagree with Chomsky's social and political views, which, compared with all mainstrem thought, liberal and conservative, are radical .But no one has ever successfully refuted Chomsky and all objections to his analyses are invariably emotionally and idiologically based. We need more scholars like Noam Chomsky
