We've been very upset on this forum over the very thing Naom mentioned regarding the Magna Carta. Without a media we're done. RT, Youtube, Linktv, and the internet.

We've been riding the wave of resource theft long enough. When the ports are ten feet under water this shit won't be going on. We'll suddenly discover that we actually are in this all together. Biliionaires carrying sandbags with the rest. OK, I'm rambling...

as an English teaching major, plummeting my grades in a class that, to me, turned simple sentence structure into puzzling mathematical equations .In short order, this method completely disappeared. Fifty years later, it seems to have been entirely forgotten. I've rarely ever met anyone beyond that class who's ever heard of it (maybe on Wikipedia). As much as I admire Chomsky otherwise, this is a negative lodged in my brain.
