I think you're misinterpreting the point I'm making. I myself am a wage earner. My point is that we are too busy trying to survive and take care of our responsibilities that we don't have time to become aware of what's going on or educate ourselves to the the root cause behind world problems.

It's not an insult......it's a fact.

David Frum, who features in this video at about 3:20, became George Bush's most senior speechwriter, close friend, and chief advocate of the neocons (just type his name into youtube). here he was a journalist, arguing against chomsky's ideas about the strong bonds between media and government.

irony, anyone?

@batbawls Hi! You can find the recording by doing a youtube search for "Chomsky Canadian Journalists". It's there in 4 parts ;-)

4:22 Where can I find the full recording of that?

I think I would have more sympathy with the "Palestinian cause" if it wasn't as self-inflicted as it is. The Arabs have attacked Israel numerous times with the intention of committing the same atrocities Chomsky condemns. If they didn't pass down vicious Jew-hatred and incite to violence the way that they do, I think Israel would have stopped occupying the West Bank a long time ago.

@blaziermissy i dont think that we are too busy or that we are not that busy,i think that how busy you are is not the point,im from Greece and youre propably from the US and as far as i have seen is that citizens around the globe cannot make any difference in their own countrys no matter what,even if u had the most available time what could u possibly do with that?everyone is asking the same,what can we do?thinks seems to move slow,power is gathered in a few and ure chances are always slim...

what we need is a heavy dose of discordianism. . .

[HeavensHelp1]

@freedo333 In all fairness, when Americans do protest, they are arrested en-mass! Remember the students in Pittsburgh regarding the G8 Summit? The police beat the HELL out of them, even went so far as to club kids that were just walking back to their dorms. The police in this country have become nothing more than a bunch of GOONS for the "Globalists!"

i didnt know shit about this in canada because of the media. which is why i agree so much when i hear this argument.

[djamorpheus]

would you look at that.. david frum has always been a prick

@blaziermissy I also know how hard it is just to get by in life, while you try to keep a hundred different plates spinning just to stop everything falling apart.

But I realized something a few months ago that got me thinking, and I'll ask you a question to demonstrate; how long, every day, week, month and year do you estimate you spend watching TV? How could that time otherwise be spent?
