    Hey Ant, if you're into hypnotists fine. I'm just surprised that you being
    an academic would find them a "credible source."

    Perhaps it would be intellectually constructive to give us some quotes
    from Chomsky so we could critique them. I've presented a full page of a
    speech he made while kissing up to Ho Chi Min in North Korea and haven't
    heard an intellectual peep out of you about it. :-)

    Best regards,
    Platt
