What globalization is...
Q: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
A: Princess Diana's death.
Q: How come?
A: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by an Englishman, using Bill Gates's technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, manufactured in a joint venture in China, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in an Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers. That, my friends, is Globalization.
