Authors like  Jared Diamond,Howard Zinn,Noam Chomsky,Michael Parenti.

Welcome Ken.You're not Kenny

Welcome Ken.

You're not Kenny G are you? If you are I reserve the right to withdraw my welcome.

Welcome heathen, Diamond is

Welcome heathen, Diamond is always a great read. Choamsky is interesting, but George Lakoff and Steven Pinker are doing wonders in evolutionary psychology and cognitive neurolinguistics building upon and enlightening Choamsky's foundations. Laters.

Got to admit, I like Kenny

Got to admit, I like Kenny G's sax work.  Welcome to the threads, Ken G. BTW, we got the same first name.

Lakoff and Pinker

 Well I'm only slightly into hearing George Lakoff speak,I watched him on a Internet show-"THE YOUNG TURKS " and he doesn't sound like a deep thinking Professor.But Steven Pinker is a very deep Thinker, he was on Book TV a few month's ago talking about language that offends certain people and his new book,and on MIT's web page he has a few lectures.

Signature ? How ?
