Re: Noam Chomsky: America is not a democracy I know. It's so Ideal that we don't have any idea how to conduct it. It will take an incredibly Intelligent and Mature group to do it. ...but we'll make it some day. I think the way to approach it is to divide up into smaller and smaller countries so that executive power is in the hands of more and more people.

Re: Noam Chomsky: America is not a democracy Here I have to disagree with you William. What is America? Can it be touched? Felt? Reasoned with? To all of these things the answer is no, because the United States isn't a real person and therefor it can't have interests. If America can't have interests then whose interests are they? Well they have to be the interests of actual people who weld the power of the imaginary United States and its magical interests.
What their interest are might not be and most of the time aren't the same interests as every single person who calls them self an American. Therefore "American interests" is a misnomer, it is the interests of specific peoples and groups and not "America" as a whole as it implys.a repeating series of dots and dashes whose meaning was explicate, he said, but whose import he could not fathom. Dot, dash, dot, dot. Dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot. Dash. Dot. Dash, dot. Dot, dash, dash. Dot. Dot, dash, dot,dot. Dot, dash, dot, dot.
