My mood almost exclusively depends on how physically attractive I feel. This is normal behavior for a woman but I feel vain and pathetic thats why I love this stuff essay paper

Dear Professor Chomsky,
Yours has been an incalculable contribution to the body of moral, political, scientific, and civil thought in the twentieth century. It would be impossible to overstate the importance of the intellectually rigorous, characteristically honest, and powerfully provocative dialogue that your body of work has created, to say nothing of what I have personally gained from reading your work. It is my sincerest hope that I will be able to continue in your tradition. I wish you all the best. Thank you.

Condolences on the loss of your wife. And thank you for all the work you have done for peace and social justice. You are an inspiration.

Blessings to you and your family as you have bestowed blessings upon us. I understand you have also lost your compan~era and it is with teary-eyed sympathy that I send our condolences and best wishes. The Odawa have taught me that the spirit has a four day journey to the next lands and it is, of course, a time for honored remembrance, life and future life. Carol and you have actively worked to ensure a better and more sustainable future and we honor both of you and - as Cynthia Peters put it about the East Timorese - will learn that we are all leaders with experiences, insights who know what we have to do. My children know of you as an honored elder. I am happy to know we/I am going where we will all end up going: in this life and in 77 generations.

The Reluctant Hero

Those of us who wish desperately for humanity to live up to our potentials invariably admire – even idolize – rare individuals who advance our causes in special ways. Unfortunately, those who are truly heroes and heroines one day sometimes falter on another day, leaving us, their admirers, to grapple with terrifying ghosts of disillusionment who always lurk nearby.

I have known for over forty years that Noam Chomsky is one hero who will never stumble. In truth, I don’t understand how that is even possible, but I know it is true. Noam has provided me and millions of others with priceless gifts of knowledge, courage, and solidarity over a lifetime. Knowing all these years that I need never fear that Noam might falter has been the greatest gift of all for me.

Happy eightieth birthday, Noam

Hasta la Victoria Siempre

I would just like to express my appreciation to Noam. I have begun a journey to learn and try and understand as much as I can about the world in which we live in. This has been largely inspired by him. He is truly a bright light in a world that I had seen to be very dark in the past. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Noam:

As you know, I already wished you a Happy Birthday, but since it's a really, really big one, I'll do it again: Happy Birthday!! Best wishes to you and your loved ones. Looking forward to many more.

Thanks for your all of your contributions. You've made our lives richer. You've made my life richer.

Take care,

Ernie

P.S.: Ok Noam, I gotta ask - In Robert Barsky's latest book (pg. 30) you were quoted as admitting that “I’m not as remote from the popular culture as I sometimes pretend.” For the longest time I've had a gut feeling that this was true when reading your work . So fess up, what's going on here!? Are we going to be treated to some of your observations on our popular culture?

Noam:

Congratulations! I got there in March, a little ahead of you, so this is a note of thanks to a young fellow who has taught me more than anyone since Wittgenstein!

I'm starting a new PhD program at Claremont Graduate University next fall, if we can get through the permissions maze by June: in evaluation. Not just program eval, but policy, proposal, personnel, product, portfolio evaluation, etc. In a way, it's another name for critical thinking, and another way to systematize the questioning of fundamental assumptions, your favorite sport. I hope to get you out there to talk when we get going. Meanwhile, keep going as ever,

Noam, Just a quick word to honor you and your work on the occasion of your birthday. There are so very few folks who walk the walk as well as talk the talk that when they occur it is a time of joyous declarations. Speaking truth to power is never a popular position so it is no wonder that the mainstream media seeks to ignore or ridicule you. Just know that there are many of us who take great comfort in knowing that there are people like yourself out there. Happy B-Day and I am happy to have this opportunity to thank you. Mahalo!

Dear Noam,

I am greatly indebted to you. You taught me how to think for myself. Through your work, I was introduced to truly enlightening ideas and remarkable intellectuals and activists which hugely affected my views about power and politics. Your untiring activism and commitment to peace and justice have inspired me to become an activist.

I wish you a really happy birthday!

Noam,

Please accept my best wishes for a happy birthday. What a gift you bring us all!

So this day has special significance, and carries exceptional reason for celebration -- extolling a life dedicated to the cause of humanity, a lodestar, a career of dedication and commitment eminently worth emulation.

I thank you personally for bringing sanity and direction to my life. What greater gift could one person offer another? I will be proud to carry on in the path you have pointed out, and continue with this work.

Vincent

Mr. Chomsky

4 Score & Zero Years Ago

Well, Noam, you're in your 80s now. But no excuses. Lots of suffering still in the world. And the US economic crisis is going to create a lot of poorer Americans. So have a big celebration with friends and family, spend quality time with your loved ones, particularly with your nearest and dearest at this difficult time, but remember to get back to work!
