Not too sure what you're trying to say here.

That Chavez is a dope? That he's wrong? That he's right? o_O That Naom isn't one of your country's leading intellectuals?

What?

LOL. Just ignore TB. he loves to make wild connections such as this. tries to evoke an emotional response rather than a logical or rational one.

sometime early 2001, age 19, i read a speech transcript by Noam Chomsky, it's still online.
http://www.zmag.org/chomsky/articles/z9 ... media.html

same day i also read about the secret Coca-Karma Court battle.

my eyes were opened that day.

As a result i was one of the ppl who was not surprised at all by Sept 11 that year. Or how the media handled it, or the subsequent Afghanistan war, or the subsequent Iraq war. Everything became predictable.

(So Noam Chomsky is awesome)

Hmm... It's interesting, but it just shows that all people, except those who created their own individual thoughts or were truely in charge, live their lives according to peer pressure.
And if you look at people's lives again, you'll notice that it doesn't take a large article to confirm that.

Predictable is right. Before Bush was elected into office, I said \"If he is elected, we will be at war within the year\". Damn, I was right. When we first entered Iraq, and all the dopes that said it'll be over in a few weeks, I was the only person who, correctly, predicted that we would be there for years, or even decades.

9/11 was no suprise, we've been asking for it for years, screwing those countries over and over and over.

I remember saying it back then.

I also remember Bush talking about the WoT being a long war way back before Afghanistan.

That puts you in pretty elite company ;)

We made Osama rich... if he really cared about his people so much, you'd think he would use the wealth we were giving him to help them... those countries are screwed over by their own corrupt leadership, not by ours.
Differentiation is an integral part of calculus.
