re: #257 Killgore Trout

I think Chomsky is worth paying some attention to. He’s horribly wrong much of the time but he is influential and I think it’s important to understand his reasoning. Greenwald is more of an oddity. He is influential in the sense that he does have a decent sized fan club but he doesn’t have the intellectual weight of Chomsky.

His arguments are compelling if they aren’t scrutinized too closely. Reminds me of the kind of appeal that Ron Paul enjoys. Smart people not taking libertarian ideas to logical conclusions.
