Americans Who Tell the Truth
Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, political activist, and social critic
"...jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you're trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them."
- Noam Chomsky -
As a scholar, his theories in linguistics transformed the discipline into a major social science. But Chomsky is best known for his outspoken criticism of United States government.
"I'm a citizen of the United States," says Chomsky, "and I have a share of responsibility for what it does. I'd like to see it act in ways that meet decent moral standards."
