  • You know you're fucked when an alternative news source is called the REAL news.

  • @lictor313 Weird, cause every study shows that the US health care system is twice as large per capita as all the north european countries, and the former doesn't even cover everyone...

    The second highest health care per capita cost in the world is Norway, which is still just 3/4 of what the US society pays even though we have the highest cost of living in the world due to the oil wealth.

    But go ahead, don't rely on actual numbers... Made up facts are much easier to fit to your argument.

  • @LibertyisTheAnswer Semantics. 

  • @Knaeben So we're fucked. All agreed?

  • @Knaeben Exactly my point..there is no functioning democracy and Chomsky lives in the clouds if he thinks his utopia will come about based on a dream of it coming back. And for the record...we were supposed to be a REPUBLIC run by checks and balances...not a democracy which is majority rule. The Taliban can have a democracy....

  • @vdotme Well, the mainstream media is too busy reporting on Fiona Apple's new makeup and the kid who won the Illinois State Spelling Bee. The mainstream US media doesn't report the damn news, so you have to look further afield to get more indication of what's going on out there.

  • @LibertyisTheAnswer Have you been living the last thirty years, on the moon? Many people pay lip service to the idea of America being a functioning democracy, but I think I finally found someone who actually buys that propaganda. The people in America are supposed to BE the government... but it doesn't work that way: the corporate lobby controls who does and doesn't get funded at election time... A plea for people to get their heads out of the propaganda machine and THINK for themselves!

  • Chomsky wants to increase the size of government., giving more power to a corrupt Fedzilla. When asked why anyone would want to put their lives in the hands of tyrannical Federal officials he states at about 26.50 that it would work ...."If we had a real democratic government.."Talk about removed from reality , like he accuses others of...projection anyone? What alternate version of reality does he live in? Come down to Earth and fight with the rest of us in the here and now. Seriously...
