Noam for president!
While I appreciate your support for the man's intellect and his ability to analyse complex situations like geopolitics, I don't think he'd be a very good POTUS.
He's too cool and detached for that post.
A POTUS needs to inspire the masses and Chomsky only inspires people like me, and I guess, like you, too.
The man would best serve this nation in a POTUS's kitchen cabinet.
Give him no portfolio. That way his ego ---assuming he has one. I'm not sure he really does --won't get in the way of his analysis.
It's much easier, I think, for us to see clearly and speak truth when we aren't the people who have to implement proposed policies resulting from what we see.
The reason for that is, again I think, because when one is detached from the responsibility of one's proposals, one isn't second guessing oneself, and also one isn't weighing in the sometimes terrible costs that every decision naturally has when one is deciding the fate of nations and people.
The guy has called the ME situation better than almost anyone else.
Also on the corporatization of journalism he is on top of it.
He's a smart cookies without doubt.
Possible the smartest person I ever personally met.
