People should vote against McCain and for Obama — but without illusions.

  1. · Chris­ti­aan, is there a tran­script of that Noam Chom­sky interview?

    · You give no link to, or men­tion of, the ori­ginal web­site, so I can­not look for it myself.
     — I actu­ally think for­ward­ing unrefer­enced items is not only bad prac­tice but is often suspicious.

    · It could be that the video shows the source, but I have chosen not to have Mac­ro­media Flash on this com­puter, because of all the advert­ising which uses it: I _hate_ advert­ising, espe­cially the cur­rent dis­tract­ing type. I almost never buy any­thing other than food, so all advert­ising is com­pletely irrel­ev­ant to me.

    David.

  2. Sorry for delay David, you got caught up in my spam filter.

    Here are the links, they’re from The Real News Net­work. It’s a pity they’ve chosen to resort to Flash, as it’s an excel­lent site:
