I think that in many ways Chomsky suffers from very ineffective writing, there's simply no (or very little) emotional impact in his books.  Maybe he should co-write a book with Howard Zinn, and Zinn can teach him something about trying to connect with the audience.

being a slow reader (very slow) i often try to get other folk to 'splain
stuff to me.  the onliest non-cyber person i know has actually read
Chumpsky -- my bro, Klaus -- says that such enterprise is about as
exiting as watching our ma's moustache hairs grow. let's face it, some
folk can write good, some can't.
