@tristramshandy3: Do not remind me! Learning Greek is horrible and I am sitting on it right now but then again: This translation argument is clearly a case of hair splitting!

not a communist; he's a libertarian socialist

you aren't quoting Homer; you are quoting a translation!
You should learn Greek if you REALLY want to read Homer.

I have quotations to refute capitalism.
For example. Lenin said that corporate capitalism would "perpetually be involved in resource wars abroad".
Or Bourne's essay "War is the health of the State".
Or the Sinclair Lewis quote: "when Fascism comes to America it will be wearing a flag and carrying a bible".
This, of course, represents the dangers of the RIGHT wing threat to our freedom.
Have a great day.
Life is the best!

that's a very insightful critique. you should write an op-ed piece for the times.
Typical intellectually lazy American

I just hope he comes around Tijuana, and cites more trues about yankee imperialism, and it's retributions for they're rotten political system, and how we the Mexicans and generally third world pay with our suffering they're expansionism, and the shit that they make out of our streets and cities for they're evil legacy, wich of course they ignore most of times.
The worst blind ain't the one who can't see, but the one who doesn't want to.
Greetings mr. Chomsky, from a mexican admirer!

Hi i'm Mexican from Tijuana.
Chomsky is maybe the most important intelectual on history. Unfortunately, for every chomsky in the Usa there are millions of idiots(called themselves patriots) that diss him with no reason. Of course all the information he gives and cites is documented and proved, and it's very difficult to avoid laughing violently when youy see the things that this capitalist pigs say to diss him out. Nothing personal, but what are universities in the US for?

In 1942, a group called the Committee for Constitutional Government gave out many leaflets entitled "Lincoln on Limitations" that contained on 1 side a real Lincoln quote and on the other the 10 Boetcker statements. Boetcker was credited with his statements on the leaflet, but their proximity in print to one real quote by Lincoln, plus the title, led people to think Lincoln had said the 10 statements.

Lincoln did not say these things. They were written in 1916 by Rev. William J. H. Boetcker, a Presbyterian clergyman and pamphlet writer. |
