Quotes for the day

"Noam Chomsky is the leading critical voice against the criminal regime now running the United States; a regime which is in fact a dangerous monster out of control. But he will not be bullied. He will not be intimidated. He is a fearless, formidable, totally independent voice. He does something which is really quite simple, but highly unusual. He tells the truth." (Source : Harold Pinter - Nobel Peace Prize for Literature 2005 - at St Paul's Cathedral, December 9 2002, to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Kurdish Human Rights Project) "Whether human beings have a future is not obvious. The answer will lie in the population dedicated to Values...community, solidarity, concern for a fragile environment that will have to sustain future generations, creative work under voluntary control, independent thought, and true democratic participation in varied aspects of life...In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured - they may well be essential to survival." (Source : "Chomsky and 3 Values for Survival", The Cyril Joad Society Christmas Lecturette, December 10 2005, Ifield West Community Centre, Gatwick, England)

In free democratic societies it is not considered sedition to stage peaceful protest or to call for or attempt regime change through democratic means. If it were considered to be sedition, then there would be no legal means through which people could effect change in their government when either the electoral system fails or when the electoral system is not sufficient by itself to address the matter at hand - and therefore, it would no longer be a truly democratic system.

Let's also arrest all those who do not show disdain towards Chomsky.

The fact that he isn't is a strength, not a weakness. Whatever you think of his politics. Ryan
"Michael Moore and Mel Gibson are the same person, except for a few sit-ups. Moore thought his cheesy political blooper reel was going to tell people how to vote. Mel thought that his little gay SM movie about his imaginary friend was going to help him get to heaven." - Penn Jillette

Maybe I'm missing something...but why would these be quotes of the day?

Don't confuse Chomsky with pacifism. He simply supports anyone who opposes America. http://www.almanar.com.lb/story.aspx?Language=en&DSNO=649568[^] Orwell's on pacifism[^] makes good reading. Ryan
"Michael Moore and Mel Gibson are the same person, except for a few sit-ups. Moore thought his cheesy political blooper reel was going to tell people how to vote. Mel thought that his little gay SM movie about his imaginary friend was going to help him get to heaven." - Penn Jillette
Plus Chomsky makes a damn fine dollar off his form of pacifism.

But if you strategically ignore the terms "independent thought", "democracy", and "freedom", you'll see the word "community", obviously indicating that the man is a communist, and therefore an enemy of the state. Right Stan? Espeir?

Your misspelling obfuscates your meaning, Stan. Are you accusing Chomsky of sedition, or requesting sedation for yourself?

Now I bet if the government was raising taxes you'd be the first to call it "a dangerous monster out of control".

And I would be rigth! But I would also expect the IRS to violate my 4th amendment rights as it so frequently does to others. But that itsn't sedition, it is just dissent. Similar attacks on the commander in chief are in a completely differnt category. "You get that which you tolerate"

No there is always revolution to change a government, sometimes from within other times as a result of outside forces. Besides there are times when it is not the government which fails but the people who put the idiots in to run it, in the first place who need to be culled from the herd and the process of goverment reestablished. Cheers A Silver bullet, A Gold Bullet, and A Lead Bullet, which is for you?

So if George Bush said he wanted to raise taxes then you'd keep quiet?
I would support him, but I wouldn't vote for him. "You get that which you tolerate"
