Did anybody do anything, somewhere, sometime or not? Is anyone doing anything now? For the betterment of democracy, or some bleak nano future?
Did they do it or didn't they? And who, by the way? The towers did fall, the Pentagon was hit ... but what plane crashed if any? The information on what happened on that fateful day being so overwhelming, puzzling and now and then baffling, I didn't read or see it all, which goes almost without saying; what's worse is that I undoubtedly do not understand all the pieces that came my way. I know just about nothing about structural engineering and high-rise demolition techniques do definitely not belong to the list of my hobbies.
On the other hand I don't know that ignorance has ever prevented anybody from uttering absurdities, the more senseless, the louder usually: why not me?

The first thing that comes to my mind about this famed author is a comment I read somewhere dealing with his "strong logical thinking". I guess the person who wrote this must have read some of his books to so believe; I didn't read any, therefore I cannot base my own view of that statement on the ground of his writings. To tell you the truth, all I have to build my particular logic from is a few articles on chomsky.info (you bet I didn't read them all) and a lot of videos on the web at large, starting with "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992)", all the way to his many recent speeches and interviews, more and more tedious as time goes or so to me it seems anyway. Let's not forget either, whatever the value one is to assign to age - and old age - in these and other matters, that Chomsky was born 1928 and has been an activist for a long time. The "rebel without a pause" has good reason to feel tired.
