Hi JohnM; Re Chomsky's argument about the drugs produced &c. Actually, humans are sort of famous for their ability switch between sources of stuff, and I believe he ignored that. You might as well argue that when the local Safeway is damaged by excessive snowfall and closes for 3 months worth of repairs it means that the people who used to shop there are going to go hungry. In addition, humans are famous for their ability to rebuild things, he probably didn't take that into account either. The left wing never did give much credence to the universality of human abilities. That's why they believe that people need their "help". They feel the same way about human nature, hence the (frequent!) argument that even though they themselves are evidently moved by force, the enemy is immune. -- Carl
