This clip is from Alternative View a community television show from the 1980's. They had a lot of great guests. We have several of their clips. Lot of CIA stuff.
Chomsky is admirable in many ways, not least of which is his disciplined approach to tirelessly calling out the abuses of the powerful. He's also very smart, well-informed and approachable. I've heard first hand from normal people who write to him and recieve thoughtful replies.
I know of Norman Borlaug and Vasiliy Arkhipov, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Well, trying to compare them with each other is silly of course. Somehow I still identify with Chomsky and would nominate him for world's greatest person.
Liberal! Commi! Pinko! Pinkocommi! Just kidding, Chomksy rocks.

Is Chomsky the world's greatest person or what?
