An Inconvenient Truth |
|

In our culture, news is given to us in short, quick, shallow blips. One of the great philosophers of our time, Noam Chomsky, refuses to be interviewed on mainstream news broadcasts because his ideas are so complex that the minute and a half he would be allotted would be insufficient to allow viewers to truly understand his ideas. |
