WE LOVE NOAM CHOMSKY. In a room so packed that students were sitting on the floor, Noam Chomsky in his rumpled shirt sat on a desk and talked quietly about workers rights, the insistence of the media and the government to pull the collective wool over the public's eyes, and the peril of the mandate of globalism. All this in the middle of a bunch of MBA students who intend to lead corporations to world domination. Lovely.

Overheard:

"Corporations are basically pathological."

"Wealth of Nations is a book that everyone talks about but no one's ever read."

-Noam "My-brain-kicks-butt" Chomsky
There would be more, but they're too deep for this forum and if there's one thing that Overheard isn't, it's deep.
