To think that, 34 yrs ago, I thought *I* was ever-so cosmopolitan; my
American lover bought me (mixed genes, but from Poland) a pair of,
Spanish-made, shoes (called Firenze), in Amsterdam...

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a
French
tunnel, in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was
drunk on Scottish whisky (check the bottle before you change the
spelling),
followed by Italian paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an
American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by an
American, using Bill Gates's technology, and you're probably reading
this on
your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips and a Korean monitor,
assembled by
Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian
lorry-drivers, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by
Mexican illegals.
That, my friends, is Globalization!!
