Re: OFF-TOPIC: Non linguistics books by Chomsky

I hope not. :) I honestly wasn't trying to start a discussion on the
politics of Chomsky, I was just surprised that he had written any books
on politics... most academics I know at the university are pretty single
mindedly obsessed with their subject of expertise most of the time.
Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned I agreed with the views presented in
his book. :)
 Anyway... Sorry if I've upset anyone. I'm constantly surprised by how
the conlang list is generally good natured too, since its easy sitting
in front of a computer to say the things you wouldn't say in person, and
mindlessly troll and flame chat rooms, mailing lists etc. Maybe all the
trolls are on the auxlang list?
