NP Another Left academic describes Chomsky's responses to 11/9 as"misguided"

[Musashi Miyamoto]

Even though Paul M has taken up the conch lately, you, David, are the
designated leader of the pack.

As far as paper to cover your hunter's stone, it would have to be vulnerable
to the gatherer's scissors.... That leaves me out :-)

Henry raises my name to emblem status even as I stay completely out of this
round. (should I feel proud?)  But we need a third player if his proposed
game is to work.  "Rock" beats "scissors" every time just as "hunters" beat
"gathrers."  Who will be our "paper?"

Who cares? That would only be important in a totalitarian environment. If
Barbara thought that she and Doug "embody the political sensibility of the
majority of subscribers to this list," she wouldn't have believed that,
without Doug, she would be the only one to respond. That is unless she
believes that, while many of people who subscribe may find Chomsky (and a
majority of world opinion [including the new, supposedly debilitated Pynchon
interview]) agreeable, they have grown tired of the bait and response
between David Morris' numerous, vocal hunters and Doug Millison's fewer
(posting) gatherers. Kind'a like "Lord of the Flies" around here, sometimes.
