This is the latest video from Noam Chomsky. “Contours of Global Order: Domination, Stability, Security in a Changing World: The rise of Xenophobia in the West” recorded on March 13, 2011, in Amsterdam. Chomsky discusses many things but also the environmental throwbacks in our government, including one elected official who said that we didn’t have to worry about global warming or climate change. His reasoning is that it won’t happen because God promised Noah that there would never be another flood. Apparently this Congressman has not noticed that there have been many incredible and devastating floods just in the last 10 years. That is what passes for logic in the U.S. Congress. That Rep. was John Shimkus (R-Ill., a right-wing extremist in the model of James Inhofe and Michele Bachmann.) On that note, it’s amazing that in a country of 300 million people, we can’t find 600 or so people adequately smart enough to serve intelligently in government. As usual, Noam Chomsky tells it like it is. Worth the view — enjoy.
