Re: Noam Chomsky
me to - I have yet to see it. My friend wrote a wonderful review of it when it came to Montreal.....I still kick myself for missing it when it came to Toronto:

If a corporation was a real "person", what kind of person would it be?

Spread the word! On Thursday, I attended an advance screening at Concordia
University of the new Mark Achbar documentary THE CORPORATION. Most of you will be familiar with the work of Mark Achbar, who co-directed Manufacturing Consent. Noam Chomsky makes a reappearance in this new film, along with Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine), Naomi Klein (No Logo), and a wide range of other talking heads, each with a privileged and fascinating perspective on the issue of corporate unaccountability. Among those interviewed: corporate CEOs, watchdogs, journalists, medical doctors,
filmmakers, citizens, Harvard professors ... and the militant activist who
lead a successful popular uprising against water privatisation in Bolivia!
We go behind closed doors at the Summit of the Americas in Québec to
listen in on the schmoozing that took place between corporate advocates and Federal ministers, while some of you were getting tear-gassed in the streets.

This is NOT just another hyperbolic commentary on globalisation. This is a
serious, well-documented, fascinating and encyclopaedic account of the
institution that dominates 21st Century Earth and its inhabitants.

THIS FILM SHOULD BE CORE CURRICULUM FOR EVERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN NORTH AMERICA.

A chance to interview Noam Chomsky
Hi guys check out http://rinf.proboards37.com/index.cgi?board=m which is allowing people to ask questions to Noam Chomsky directly . It's just started and should be very interesting.

Re: Noam Chomsky
The Corporation acts like a sledgehammer to marketing inspired claims of corporate responsibility. I must say it really crystalised a lot of thoughts i've been having over last 12 months or so, and actually helped better explain a lot of things i've been trying to explain to the wife. so much so that after watching it she said 'i've been really worried about some of the things you've come out with recently but now i understand where your coming from'.

anyway i'm off to find manufacturing consent
