I don't even really remember how I discovered Professor Chomsky's work, but I know it was shortly after 9/11 when I decided to look into why the attacks happened beyond terrorists hating freedom. Since then my worldview and my personal studies have been heavily informed by Professor Chomsky's writings. He has inspired me to strive for truth and justice in all aspects of life, and to never take things at face value.

Thank you Professor Chomsky, for your activim, your writings, and your inspiration. The world needs people like you, and we can all learn a lot from your lifetime.

Happy birthday.
