Thanks for posting the Chomsky article. What can I add to Noam? I'm getting too old and lazy to hunt down the good stuff. You find the articles, I'll get the beer.

Thanks for showing us those amazing pictures. I was browsing your seeds and they all make me want to spend too much time on my little square laptop as well, but with the low tonight in the negative universe here, inside seems like a good time for some reading,
djd is one of the finest writers on Newsvine. He is masterful with a pen..er, keyboard. He has a razor sharp wit and matching intellect. I am making it a point to visit his column more often, because it makes me smarter. Keep fighting the good fight, sir. :)
