This is why I'm going to study Kazakh next. There is plenty of Russian capacity left over from our Cold War intellectual stock and children of first-gen immigrants who have native fluency in two languages. But fewer people are capable of helping on the newest battlefield in oil politics.
While unsurprising, this is an interesting read on the capitalist hypocrisy of Noam Chomsky's anticapitalism. You see, the richest 20% shouldn't be allowed to have trusts or keep their money to pass to their descendents...only certain publicly-minded activist professors can, with the money from $12,000 speeches. (His value jumped post-September 11th -- "a whole new meaning to war profiteering.") And nobody should support evil oil companies and corporations, unless their stocks are in your retirement portfolio.
(Yeah, yeah, two TechCentralStation links in one post...I maintain that it's a reliable source insofar as many of the individual authors have integrity. Ilya Shapiro, Glenn Reynolds, and Arnold Kling are all estimable unto themselves, for example.)
Like a $25 Che Guevara t-shirt, this just shows the reassuring upshot that the laws of economics are like flowing water: They'll reach every parched crevice.
Wow, that was weak. I need to go study for two midterms tomorrow. Cheers.
