Really, Henry, cher m'sieu, you can't get away with statements like 'it's a
huge phenomenon'. Of course it is, but that's saying next to nothing about
it. The issue isn't 'globalization' (a word that is already becoming
vampire-drained of blood and meaning) but the by whom these processes are
being managed. Earthlinking connectedness carries with it the pleasing fact
the the scattered and wide of us on this list are in contact, but such
askance-asking angles are the untrigonometrical corners to the cubed sphere,
the primary controls of 'globalization' are the agencies of the Yea, the
Beast in its Levianithical Self Most Verily.
And corporate language has no time nor space for poetry, unless it's
amenable to profit and exploitation, the Beast's mausoleum words hearse
both love's and passion's silent-made deaths, even if styles of irony and
mandarin gesture might flourish in the shades provided by the black private
incomings of well-managed portfolios.
Best
Dave
