Saturday Night Chomsky

"At this stage in history one of two things is possible. Either the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community interests guided by values of solidarity, sympathy and concern for others or alternatively there will be no destiny for anyone to control."

-- Noam Chomsky, from Manufacturing Consent

3. Chomsky is rarely incorrect.
He's one of the sharpest minds in the world on these things.
