My God, Noam Chomsky? Is he still alive? Pretty good linguist but self
loathing crackpot otherwise.
"...ill-considered racist prejudice"? You must mean those camel fuckers who
like to shoot into the air. Do you know anything about firearms? How many of

As for "mass hysteria," the reactions of this motley group certainly
qualify.

all things left wing PC pukes like you lack. This is not meant as logically
