[Mb-civic] The True Definition of Globalization

[Ian]

Received this from a friend:


Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: Why?

Answer: She waw an English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend, who crashed in a French tunnel, in 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; she was treated by an American doctor using Brazilian medicines.

And this information was sent to you by an American using American technology, and you're probably reading it on a 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!!!
