Hi, I am part of a group called Globalive Orange Blackboard Project (www.globalive.net). We are looking for all different kind of globalization stories, everything from your local farmer's raw milk to multinational paper mills operating in Argentina. If you have a story, long or short please email it to webmaster@globalive.net Thank you! Dave Note - We are NOT affiliated with Globalive Communications Corp.

bren, contribute discussion to the forums, or all your article posts are spam. I suggest you start the discussion quite soon.
This is an important issue to me. We need solutions to very serious problems that are arising from globalization trends. I thought this was a free speech forum. I am not selling anything. I think my article is VERY relevent to this discussion. We must form a Virtual/Global nation, with the goal of uniting our planet. The United Nations has made a profound difference in our fragmented world. However, in order to effectively address all the issues I have set forth, I believe the only way to do this is to use the world wide web as vehicle in which we can unite all peoples of our planet on a grassroots level. In order to be successful, we need to be able to bypass the government concepts and structures in place worldwide instead of trying to work within them. The web is the perfect place to do that since it is like the big giant hippie in the sky so to speak. I commend its ability to rise above government control in all facets. The internet is a world of its own and I believe that it is really sort of like a Gui (graphical user interface) program in which we can communicate in a celestial dimension. Google has developed machine learning and the computers that make up the infrastructure of the web are capable of dynamically reprogramming their own source code. Think about it before you dismiss me as nuts. Here in this dimension, we have no bodies to present to one another, we cant see each other or touch each other. We communicate, but it is not based on the spatial dimensions of earth. I am sure you have a real concern with that kind of thing and totally support your stand in that. However, I am a writer and write articles about things that are important to me. Please tell me what I should do to let people know about this other than to retype the entire article on your forum. That would take up a lot of thread.
Copy and paste works well. Otherwise it is indeed spam if you're gonna post a link to the same site in every post you make here, as you have already done.
WALMART ..... Global destruction of a free market. Supporting the destruction of the little guy floating in a main stream economy ... When anyone supports their sales they support the loss of another small guys dream ... Walmart (a multinational company) has become the harlot of commercialism. When you save ... in most cases you do NOT actually save $$$ - you are getting less product to justify the price difference. HERE IS MY STORY: I used to sell oriental style rugs (retail & wholesale) My store was on the same block as a Walmart. Walmart management came into my store asking questions about prices They were selling comparable 6x9's for $89.97 while my price was $64.99. Soon after the visit ... they dropped their prices to $49.93. Typically - these rugs (if purchased through normal channels) could be bought from the factory for $35.00 plus shipping each ... At that time Walmart was paying about $21.00 each wholesale and my cost was $23.00 each. When they dropped their price - it was not regional - a lawyer told me after several years had past that I could have sued them because the store in the next town north of us was STILL $89.97 ... Here is the REALITY of some of the Walmart savings - their rugs were a little narrower and a bit shorter that mine ... just enough to justify the difference in wholesale prices. When you look at sale prices there ... see if they are trying to undercut a competitors price to get you in there store to spend more money on their regular retail priced items .... You might save on one item - BUT what about the OTHER things you buy? They could be a bit over the regular prices of another company.
If China dumps the dollar ... it will create a global economic crash ... Their monetary system would become worthless ....
Why should that be so, they hold the upper hand they can leverage their position and still come out ahead.
Every countries money is tied together - money is just paper and metal - it has no value except what each government has for a global income (cash flow) BUT the monetary system is a LOT more than cash ... it's loans (written documents & promissory notes), and other kinds of bank notes ... Why do you think there is a world bank that loans poor countries billions? THIS IS WHY: If they (a poor government) fails to pay on its debt it means that country is then bankrupt - but unlike a regular person that has a car or house or computer to sell that helps pay back at least part of the loan in a bankruptcy - a loan to a nation is not secured with anything that could be sold. IF the value of money was secured with gold (which was at one time called the GOLD STANDARD) then a country could pay a loan back with the gold ...but NO country has money supported by the the gold standard! so if any country fails to be able to make a payment it makes the loan originator's investment portfolio weaker which means their money is less secure (it is secured by loan profits - that's why the USA gives so many countries money and why the USA is so rich) which means those who loan the loaner money are then with weaker money ... There is no fast way to stop that kind of problem either ... it would make the whole world economy collapse! ..... biff I used to live in Yreka & Hornbrook is that as far north in Cali as you are?
