Do you also have a problem with the meaning of `is'? ` Who' is a very simple question, answered many times a day. `Why' is only seen as infinitely regressive, by those trying to evade answering the question. Infinitely regressive is a term usually reserved for mathematical expressions. I don't recall Karl Marx ever got so far as a `New World Order'. Choamsky is a teacher of linguistics and in a little over his head in politics where words have little meaning to guys like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Sadaam, et al. Jane Fonda and Mike Ferrell both act for a living and often do so seeking career advancement in a field where a left wing opinion may help. `Lou Grant' was a fictional character portrayed by Ed Asner, also an actor and not above a little career boosting of his own. Best not to get involved too deeply to the point that one confuses the role and the actor.
