Perhaps in the future when I have a bit more knowledge and more of a foundation for criticism I might venture in that direction, have to see how things go.

I will be sure to watch it when i'm back. I do find his other work very inspiring. as you said, he offers us not only a view of the global (and in particular, US) political and economical situation but also an optomism and belief in the capability of people to do something about it. its hard to feel this, but thats no excuse for ignoring the problem. also, if you will not be writting on politics here, where will you be? what is to follow from this issue that is obviously very important to you. i think many people are searching for a way in which they can focus their energy in a possitive way on this. i'd be interested to read your thoughts on this. i think others would be too. thanks for those links. unfortunatly i’m unable to view the chomsky interview: “google video is not currently available in your country”.
