Any theory that requires judicial activism and that is so carefully guarded by dogmatic semantic word games isn’t worth its salt. This is a kin to guarding a dead corpse, in this case the corpse is Darwin himself.

Comment on Chris Hedges | BookTV | Colbert Report by Dr.Ned Ammari

Dr.Ned Ammari — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:02:04 +0000

I have followed the writings of Chris Hedges since he was stationed in Beirut,Lebanon,working for The New York Times. I must say that his eloquence,honesty,high moral ground,broad knowledge of history and farsighted mental horizon are his truly powerful tools he utilizes so effeciently to give his readers brilliantly structured articles/columns. That is why he has such a large number of followers,espacielly at Truthdig Website.

The fanatical members of the evangelical Christian Right hate his guts because he has exposed them and their agenda as they should be exposed. He has done so in his book entitled “American Fascists”. A fascinating and daring exposure.

I,for one,have admired what he has written sofar;and I must admit that I have become addicted to his ways of structuring his essays/columns. I take my time to read them and sometimes I study them,depending on the topic he writes about and the degree of interest I have in the topic. If this is not called addiction,I just do not know what is. Perhaps,just perhaps,because I am a scientist by formal education,training and experiences I have found the writings of Chris Hedges so admirable and fascinating,indeed.
