Yes, I didn't do that. I explained what I was talking about several
times. Dan reduced it to the above because that's what he
understood. I apologize for not making myself clear.
On the subject of what is sensible being obvious to most. I agree.
What was sensible was obvious to NATO. That's why they bombed
Yugoslavia. So apparently sensibility is not so obvious. Unless, of
course, you mean that what is sensible is obvious to "us" but not to
"them", ie we are good and they are bad. Chomsky's model applies to
all of us.
