@nonameslb - HUSH! Don't even talk about it. Chomsky is a unique and singularly stupendous intellect whose passing will leave a huge hole in the world. But there are other brilliant and learned minds that understand what he and Zinn (and like you say, so many more greats who have come before and moved on) have talked and written about, and at least their voices will continue to remind us of them in the years we have left.
Not trying to equate anyone with Chomsky, but I think of Chris Hedges and cheer for his voice. And I see my brothers and sisters in his audiences and know that at least I am not alone in these painful days. But we are all at the end of an age. Too much is changing too quickly across a the spectrum of our global collective existence and we're all interconnected in ways we have never been before. I suspect we're all going to loose a hell of a lot, if not everything, all too soon. Historically, frightened groups of people tend to do stupid and terrible things. And when they can rally around a central idolized figure, especially a narcissistic, con-man, who really knows how to work up a crowd, I really don't know. Check back with me in two years and let's see how the things have gone - if you still can.
