Funnily enough Noam happened to be
featured on BBC 4 tonite while you
were all murmuring and 'manufactured
consensus' is definitely on his
itinerary altho he seemed to be
blaming some transnational 'them'
for the actual phrase.
Personally I can't think of anything
more relevant to 'qalam' than
manufactured consensus, when I
picture small children being given
the alphabets of Empires to play
with from an early age. Some of the
guys on here are a bit heavy -
lighten up, guys!
