I think Chomsky's most valuable intellectual contribution is his focus on South/Central America and the atrocities that America funds there.

From a computer science perspective, I'd at least acknowledge his contributions to the theory of formal languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chomsky_hierarchy

no, i'm talking about marginal utility and ordinal preference ranking. ?_? not really sure where you pulled the randroid insinuation from?

Actually Chomsky and Rand share a similar view of Crony Capitalism and a corrupt regulatory state.

Not sure what your point is. Everyone is wrong about something.
