Chomsky: The U.S. behaves nothing like a democracy (salon.com)

Reading this makes my brain feel greasy and dirty. It's not that I think he's wrong, it's that I feel myself believing what he says without him presenting much in the way of evidence. It's disconcerting.



I find it hard to follow the whole rant, but in essence he seems to agree that the current USA isn't a functioning democracy?

I'll look forward to the day when the 45 year lag in opinion allows the 60s and 70s anti-war movements to catch up with US policy. Imagine, a world in which the US isn't invading anybody.


I'm tired of Noam Chomsky being right about everything.
