more coming real soon, I promise...
for now, some historical context on the 50-year old American project of quashing

This is truly one of the greatest speeches I've heard, as relevant today as ever... please do read it.
& from one of the few intellectuals of our time who's talking about anything relevant, Dr. Noam Chomsky...
What

Please write & tell me what you think about all this, because I'd love to know... & of
course any criticisms or questions are most welcome--grooverevival
