Dear folks,

After a short stay with the Chomsky group, I must bid a fond farewell.  I
subscribed in the hope of finding a group that was translating Chomsky's
ideas into action.  Instead I found some people (I mean this as a
constructive critique) engaged in a kind of cerebral circle-jerk akin to the
medieval scholars who debated how many angels could stand on the head of a
pin.  The mass of mankind is not interested in the fine points of libertarian
socialism, rightist libertarianism, anarchosyndicalism etc.  or
sociogeneticism (if I may stretch the English language).  They are looking
for a way to make their lives better.
