Couldn't resist this quintessential Chomsky rebuff. As usual, the genius floods his questioner with an abundance of historical information to the point of near absurdity in order to defend an intuitively accessible point (outside of the bewildered brains of the lasseiz-faire ideologues). That's fine and Chomsky. But what makes me laugh -- harder than anything this week so far -- is just how he shuts this ignorant college chit down within twenty seconds, between :40 and 1:00.
"It's a terrible argument, you know?"
