Question: What is
the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's
death.
Question: What do you mean?
Answer: An English Princess with an Egyptian
boyfriend crashes in a French
tunnel, riding 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 closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese
motorcycles, treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines. This is sent
to you by a Canadian, using American Bill Gates' 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 truck drivers, hijacked by
Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to
you by Mexicans who are in the US
illegally because the current president, born in Kenya and educated as a Muslim
in Indonesia refuses to enforce US
law.
That, my friends,
is Globalization!
