You don't mind if I start answering my email on this thread, do you? I'm shy and it just feels safer here.

The second, Deep Concerns, is from Chomsky

Thanks for your post, S3. It would be hard for me to express the depth of my dislike for Chomsky. This guy has been pounding one message for years. That the most evil, disgusting, Government in the World is the United States of America. He spends his time traveling the World selling this message. And a lot of the World, which contains people who are looking for a reason to dislike us, eats this up.

But what is even worse is that he finds an eager audience for this message here at home. The protestors on the streets today in this country are all followers of Chomsky. They can coalesce the feelings they have of dislike for our society by absorbing his drumbeat of hatred. He is one of the most cited writers in the world.

I think the most evil fictional character in modern fiction is "Ellsworth Toohey," in "The Fountainhead. But even Rand could not have conceived of the success of Chomsky.
