"In a certain sense the movement towards globalization where capitalists are trying to leap over nation state barriers, creates a kind of opportunity for movement to ignore national barriers, and to bring people together globally, across national lines in opposition to globalization of capital, to create globalization of people, opposed to traditional notion of globalization. In other words to use globalization – it is nothing wrong with idea of globalization – in a way that bypasses national boundaries and of course that there is not involved corporate control of the economic decisions that are made about people all over the world." (Howard Zinn)


Whenever I start thinking that all Americans are as thick as the cretin they elected president, I have to remind myself that most Americans didn't vote for anybody, that more voted for the other bloke than for the cretin, and that there are people like Professors Zinn and Chomsky in the USA. Unfortunately it's the moral bankrupts and pimps for Wall Street whose voices are heard over the airwaves.
