It's clear you haven't gotten to the post with my apology in it, so I'll offer it again. I thought it was Rakesh, not you, who wrote it. And as I said before, it was a bit over my head, thus "crap" -- not in the sense that the argument (to the extent I understood it) was useless or ridiculous, but simply because I had no real meaning to me.
Perhaps I should explain myself a little better, since I'm getting tagged as "anti-intellectual." I'm self-taught. I crawled out of high school with a C-minus average and never went to college. I struggled through dyslexia before they even knew what to call it (I still have some problems with it). I didn't really begin to read "serious" books until my late 20s, and even then I struggled with some of the heavier tomes (like Marx and Engels). Chomsky was the first intellectual I really understood, and he was (and remains) a huge influence on me. I got what he was saying politically (as for the linguistics . . . ), and I began to apply this knowledge to my life. That is what led me to join FAIR when it first started, and I've been on "the left" ever since.
So even though I've written two published books, and am at work on my third, I still have trouble understanding a lot of the heavier political talk on display here. I work with blue-collar people to supplement my writing. Most of them are black and poor and are not prone to talking politics. I do broach subjects now and then, and apart for some general hostility to the White Man (myself excluded, I guess), there really isn't much in the way of discussion. They're not stupid; just uninformed.
That is why I criticize some of the posts here. They seem to take place in a world far away from the one I live in. Again, not that that makes them useless. But they often do not relate to the people who need to be related to.
