You understand the globalization of capital better than anyone I know. You are my star exhibit for the argument that globalization is a good thing. The last, and only other time, we tried it - "we" being the world, was the 19th century leading up to World War I. After class my professor and I talked for a bit about the new hot topic that maybe the cause of World War I was in some way related to that. I never have understood the reasons for the First World War. It never made any sense to me. The more I learn about Europe inter-war, the more I think World War II was inevitable. This makes me wonder what's inevitable now that I just don't see.

ElM, I'm glad to see we have managed to put you to work to maintain our standard of living. Thanks for your efforts installing all that telecommunications gear of ours. <"...For the standard of living of the developed world can also be maintained only if it succeeds in mobilizing the labor resources of the developing world..." COMMENTS: I thought, no one of those idiots are putting me to work for them. I am going out and going do my own thing. So I did. For 18 years. Started as microwave tower rigger. Then Auxiliar of the technicians. After Technician. Then Engineer. And today they can call me whatever they want provided they pay my invoice at month's end. > We need a lot more intelligent, energetic, capable, 3rd world people like you to do the hard labour installing CDMA everywhere. We will pay you with $$ from Uncle Al, Peace be on him, as you require. Colonisation is great! It gives everyone in the world a chance to be well-off and live in security. Mqurice
