I resemble that remark! :-) Even though I'm not exactly the average
anti-globalist demonstrator, the complex phenomenon we are now observing
(the advent of global economic totalitarianism) may be accurately described
as a classic ("simple") case of dualism or a struggle for power over the
continuum by competing dichotomies. The parties and schemes involved may
add to the complexity, but the story is simple enough.

I'm a born again capitalist--and I find the idea of globalization
repulsive. Can you guess why? Hint: the reason has nothing to do with fear
of competition.

Hay! If you don't mess with my fantasies, I won't mess with yours :-)
