Delete?

Larry's post specifically mentions this page, as it's got a picture, but I'm not sure the article itself is worth keeping in its present form. I'll give it a few days for objections before requesting a delete. John Stephenson 23:00, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Done. John Stephenson 21:06, 11 April 2007 (CDT)

I found this picture on Flickr and uploaded it because it seemed to me to be a very nice picture of the person in question. In Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons you don't find a picture like this. I had no intention on working on the article, I was merely trying to help with a nice image. I thought someone would come along and write the article in little time, like it happened on Ann Coulter. So, if you feel like requesting the deletion, please do it. --José Leonardo Andrade 08:57, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Political theorist?

Or notorious ideological activist? What are his qualifications as a political theorist? I will never forget the disruption to my own linguistics course at MIT by my professor, one of his protégés. He raged, "It's goin' down, man! The poor are gonna rise up in this city!" Thankfully, incidents were relatively isolated, and I did learn more about linguistics than ideology that semester. But when we did hear from Chomsky one day, he injected plenty of political ideology into his lecture about linguistics. <>< Tim Chambers 14:05, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
