Noam Chomsky Speech on Democracy Now

Over winter break, I read Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance. On today's Democracy Now broadcast, a speech he gave late last month is featured virtually in its entirety. Depending on your internet connection, you'll be able to listen to it or even to watch it. The speech is a rough overview of many of the themes he explores in the book.
The broadcast goes for an hour - this is not a news program that lives on soundbites - so if your attention span is limited and you haven't had your Ritalin today, it might be tough on you. However, if you can make it through, the knowledge itself will be a significant reward.

Matt being himself and the last two from my inimitable roommate, who likes to believe he's funny. Thanks, guys.

You'd think all these deeply intellectual posts would keep this kind of clientele away - ha. Ah well...
