TOP 3 STORIES (nov. 8, 2011)
After watching the news Tuesday night on CNN, I realized that the top stories were the Conrad Murray Trial, Herman Cain being accused of sexual harassment and the Penn State assistant coach Bob Macosy is accused of sexual harassment also. I found these three stories to be very entertaining. I hadnt followed or even really heard about the Conrad Murray trial until Tuesday night. I think personally that it could have been an accident. With the Herman Cain story of him sexually harassing a woman, I believe that it is made up. Some people dont want Herman Cain to be able to run for president so they feel that they have to make up rumors. And the Penn State assistant coach being accused of harassment, it must be true. A janitor witnessed it and rumors of such a respected person wouldnt just be made up for no reason.

Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky was a very radical man who looked at many different perspectives in the world. Chomsky makes it seem okay to go against the "status quo"; that it's good to be different and not to follow the popular opinion and ideas of society. He didn't believe that people needed a government to rule and control them. "Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to a dictatorship." This quote means that having a democracy is more comfortable, agreeable and fair. Participating in a dictatorship can cause violence and disagreement.
