Hi Mark
I tend to agree with you but I did add the caveat "to a degree." I have 4
Chomsky books: Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies;
On Language: Chomsky's Classic Works Language and Responsibility and
Reflections on Language; Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky; New
Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind.
Do you have any more recommendations?

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed.
