Shock And Yawn

[Michael Pugliese]

Chomsky at MIT on October 11:
I'll talk about the situation in Afghanistan.... Looks like what's 
happening is some sort of silent genocide.... It indicates that whatever, 
what will happen we don't know, but plans are being made and programs 
implemented on the assumption that they may lead to the death of several 
million people in the next--in the next couple of weeks.... very casually 
with no comment.... we are in the midst of apparently trying to murder 
three or four million people.

"Without knowing that we knew nothing, we went on talking without listening to 

 each other. Sometimes we flattered and praised each other, understanding that 

 we would be flattered and praised in return. Other times we abused and shouted 

 at each other, as if we were in a madhouse."
