Globalization Doesn't Work Pt 1

This blog is really about developing my thinking... so sometimes I will just sketchy things here and return to the theme later.

Here's one of those times.

I think globalization SUCKS.

Well, that's big news, isn't it. I just need to be a socialist to think that. But, here's my idea; The idea has failed because it's to far away to control properly.

Our environment is falling apart because we care more for our corporate headquarters 100-4000 miles or half a globe away than we do about the hibiscus plants in our garden or the food on our next door neighbors plates. We don't care about them because we get into our cars and drive 50 miles to and fro work each morning.

We drive AWAY from home so there's less need to take care of home. We put up with little boxy houses our little boxy apartments on little grid-like streets srrounded by so much concrete that it's 10- 15 degrees hotter in the cities than it is in the country. All so we can drive our cars and trucks up and down to give up our hard earned locally made product to China.. or Japan.. or Norway.

How can we live in someone else's city? How can we do someone else's sit ups? Is it easier to control your own life 2000 miles away or is it easier to control yourself in your own body?

Globalization doesn't work because we breath the air locally. We eat locally. We work locally. We laugh locally. We sing and dance and we fuck locally . We're messing up badly, because we care more about our profit there.. than our lives right here.
