It's sad that a parody of Chomsky sounds less idiotic than the man himself.

[The Iguana]

Zinn: And notice how Strider characterizes the Black Riders. "Neither living nor dead." Why, that's a really useful enemy to have.

Chomsky: Yes. In this way you can never verify their existence, and yet they're horribly terrifying. We should not overlook the fact that Middle Earth is in a cold war at this moment, locked in perpetual conflict. Strider's rhetoric serves to keep fear alive.

Ah - when the parody is more convincing than the real thing.

Or indistinguishable thereof.
