Corporate Globalization:

Fifty-one of the world's top 100 economies are corporations.

WalMart is bigger than Indonesia.
General Motors is roughly the same size as Ireland, New Zealand and Hungary combined.

Ninety-nine of the 100 largest transnational corporations are from the industrialized countries.

"...[cont.] People think that war will come because they know, that they consciously or sub-consciously HAVE NEVER rejected the doctrine that causes wars of the past and future. the doctrine that it is right, practical, necessary to initiate physical force upon men to achieve goals. or that some kind of good can justify it."

This passage could well be the maxim of moral Anarchism, I support.

No-one should be ruled lest they ask to be ruled. That is: 'force can only be accepted on yourself'.

FreiheitKampfer, I totally agree, government should not have self-given deity like powers to decide where I can live, what I can eat, wear, build etc etc etc. However you can either submit to their tyranny, or try live outside the system (which some do). I do however see that greed itself is the cause of most of todays problems, instead of discouraging it, we promote (Paris Hilton etc) its false promise of bliss.

please respond?

Sorry been incredible busy of late. Ayn Rand has a limited view on the topic of selfishness. People have different personalities, some will share their food at the expense of their own health, others will not, so her pretense is wrong. Also if todays economy is collapsing because the richest 1% with their 50% of american wealth refuse to spend, then hanging elites by rope is a good thing as well, for self preservation, no?

I feel that extreme wealth brings responsibilities because it can be used as a tool that can harm others, unfortunately many that aspire to extreme wealth care little about others.

What are you talking about? She's famous for writing an unprecedented and beautiful booker-prize award winning novel, which is nowhere near nothing.

mankinds stupidity has reached a tipping point

[raahulworld]

@ironladyarundhati believe it or not,BJP is only option now..Until youth of India come in front as leaders we have to rest interests in BJP..

[ironladyarundhati]

@raahulworld But it was some BJP bald guy, who escorted terrorists free from jail !!!

[raahulworld]

@ironladyarundhati well Sardar ji is spineless and yes even small country like srilanka can kill Indian fishermen and get away with it..We need BJP for the matter as INC is just wasting our resources..Next elections INC can suck ass,no one's gonna vote them.That's the way to answer the political leaders,by vote.Not by Naxalism or Arundhati mid life crisis crap

[ironladyarundhati]

@raahulworld I don't understand India. On one side they say, Kashmir is an integral part of India and on other side display State Terrorism, by arresting Indian Citizens who wanted to hoist Indian flag on Indian Territory? Sardar Ji ka bheja kharab ho gaya? India has a spineless PM wagging always wagging his tail behind a lady. And when China is grabbing land in AP, the eunuch Army who are very smart in kicking out poor people from trains say, situation not alarming !!! Headless chickens.

[raahulworld]

@ironladyarundhati So what is your point?Yes the government was wrong in killing azad..so what?You think iam here suppourting it?ha ha Supreme court of india is constitutional and Iam proud of our constitution.Our corrupt leaders and useless heads of police have done some atrocities but comparing to many many other countries we are far ahead in democratic process..So stop your non-sense as no one cares what you say

[ironladyarundhati]

@raahulworld Chidambaram killed Azad - The CDRO argued that the duo was killed with the knowledge of the Union Home Ministry. as Azad was preparing for peace talks.Media reports at the time quoted human rights activists alleging that Azad and Pandey were picked up by the police at Nagpur on June 30 and brought to AP in a helicopter and shot dead.

There were pleas in this regard in Parliament. But Chidambaram rejected them. India is run by criminals and terrorists, disguised as Politicians.
