face=Arial>> Violence Has No Place in a Democracy<BR>> By Kevin
Gosztola<BR>> <BR>> ...It is easy to characterize Loughner as unstable and
irrational. It is less <BR>> easy to entirely dismiss Joseph Stack, who flew
an airplane into an IRS building <BR>> in Texas in 2010.<BR>> <BR>>
Appearing on Democracy Now! in May of 2010, MIT professor Noam Chomsky
explained:<BR>> <BR>> "Stack decided then that he couldn't trust big
business and would strike out on <BR>> his own, only to discover that he
couldn't trust a government that cared nothing <BR>> about people like him,
but only about the rich and privileged. And he couldn't <BR>> trust a legal
system, which--in his words, in which "there are two <BR>> 'interpretations'
for every law, one for the very rich and one for the rest of <BR>> us," a
government that leaves us with "the joke we call the American medical <BR>>
system, including the drug and insurance companies [that] are murdering tens of
<BR>> thousands of people a year," with care rationed by wealth, not need,
all in a <BR>> social order in which "a handful of thugs and plunderers can
commit unthinkable <BR>> atrocities...and when it's time for their gravy
train to crash under the weight <BR>> of their gluttony and overwhelming
stupidity, the force of the full federal <BR>> government has no difficulty
coming to their aid within days if not hours."<BR>> <BR>>>From <BR>>
