This is an ignorant hit piece by a third rater who has let his politics warp his professional judgment. The questions that he poses that follow from Chomsky's work are excellent and urgent questions. This author could do himself and the world a favor by picking one and devoting his professional life to answering it.

You're right.

I could tell it was going to be bad when it started off with the author appealing to the validity of his argument by referring to his Ph.D. Whoopey! I've earned two master's degrees, one in communication with an emphasis in ESL, but that doesn't mean much beyond the fact that I was able to spend money and time for my eduction.

This is a pretty poorly written attack piece.

"Universal grammar" is a fascinating concept! I'm a computer software developer, working on voice applications, and any understanding I can gain on "grammars" and so on is very helpful to my craft.

Weak article....
