I  made a post a while back concerning Chomsky on this NG.  The issue of
organizational bias and prejudice being developed from Chomsky type
Psycholinquistics.  The issue that Chomsky is noted for is that we are born
with the ability to comprehend language.  The maturation process only
develops the modalities to express it.  The Skinnerian objection to Chomsky
style Psycholinquistics  in my estimation is that it detracted from
objectivity.  In the developing world of social programs we must see that
organizational bias lead to the "Tokenism" that those social upheaval years
is noted for. The generality of "Either the very best or the very worst,' is
very magnified even today.  Try making even a gray area antigay comment,
after what occurred in Wyoming, and see how fast the expression becomes
black and white.  What ever happened for the quest of centering.  Duh,
What????
Skinner, in analogy, was a scientist dealing with what Hull would have
referred to as Primary Frustration. An individual using achievement rather
than manipulation, conceivably, deals with Primary Frustration.  Hull also
had a definition called, Conditioned Frustration.  This was an area that
counterconditioning is necessary to bring a person back.  The problem with
"Tokenism" is non-counterconditioning.  The Supreme Court's 5-3 vote on
"Invasion of Privacy" is enough of a firm foundation, in order me, to hold
center. This vote was not a drastic swing to the right.  This vote was
America putting it's money where it's mouth is.  The problems of
disassociation in our country is so overwhelming it is unbelievable.  The
slightest amount of negative valise, in order to bring balance or center, is
still met with "The very best or very worst" scenario.  The individual
earmarked as the Fallguy" in many cases is not the bad bigot ect.
Chomsky, did not create the exploiting assholes in the world and their
victimized puppylove worshipers.  The development of Chomsky's
Psycholinquist's; however, developed an epistemological base[for what
Clinton referred to good programs that are being administered
inappropriately] from which to   .
Skinner, also developed an epistemological base; however, in another
respect.  Skinner was the greatest of the Behaviorist.  The rest fell short
of really turning over another rock.  The individuals that exploit that
truth should not reflect on Skinner's trip.  If we had more
counterconditioning, Skinner probably would have endured less name calling.
In conclusion EAT SHIT AND DIE(If you want to use paranoid ideation and
define that as eat drink and be merry, how appropriate, you have my blessing
to do so)
