Noam Chomsky. |
When Noam Chomsky
speaks, we should all listen.
Writing his piece entitled” “On the Edge” he said: “When I hear
the phrase ‘on the edge,’ the irresistible image is the proverbial lemmings
marching resolutely to the cliff.”
Chomsky writes: “For the first time in history, human are
now poised to destroy prospects for decent existence, and much of life. The
rate of species destruction today is at about the level of 65 million years
ago, when a major catastrophe, probably a huge asteroid, ended the age of
dinosaurs, opening the way for mammals to proliferate.
“The difference is that today we are the asteroid, and way
will very likely be opened to beetle and bacteria when we have done our work,” Chomsky
wrote.
