When Chomsky wept

When Chomsky wept

A moving tribute to Chomsky from an old friend.

Certainly not everyone, but a lot of us think Chomsky is the real deal: A hero, saint, prophet, 'truly great human being'.  A combination of intellectual capacity and moral integrity that is admirable in the highest degree.

One of the commenters points to Einstein's famous tribute to Gandhi but another says Gandhi was a bit odd and that such a tribute might be better said of Chomsky. It is hard to disagree.
