Sayeth Jim Burnes:
: Its really a pity that Chomsky has come to this. His theories
: on linguistics are groundreaking.
..............................................................
It is a strange thing, that someone with so much knowledge in linguistics that his theories can be
considered groundbreaking, nevertheless can fail to appreciate the concepts which were the subject
of that speech of his.
Or of what value is the study of linguistics, then, if one still can't understand the meaning of
what one reads?
Perhaps he understands very well, but despises what he sees. Just because a person can understand
the concepts of the free market doesn't mean that they will value them, right. Different values,
different goals. Or I should say different resentments, different goals.
