There is nothing elitist about Interdependency. It is a fact of life, get used to it. (Read ‘The World is Flat’ by Friedman).

The computer (or laptop) you use was probably made in China. Half the goods in your local Walmart are from China.Your health records, insurance records and taxes are probably done by a back office in Bangalore (Ghana if you are from NY). The gas that fuels your car is probably from Angola, Venezuela, Nigeria or Saudi. The coffee you drink comes from Brazil. A good part of the software on your computer (assuming you use Windows) was written in Bangalore and Beijing. Your Ipod was made in Shenzhen.

The financial stimulus checks (which are to be mailed in May/June) are likely going to be spent on goods produced in the good ol’ Peoples Republic.

Irrespective of who is elected McCain, Obama, Clinton, Limbaugh or Michael Savage - interdependence will continue and EXPAND.

Did you think I needed a definition of the word? There's generally nothing Elitist at the “Mom-n-Pop” bakery, college reporter or Village Trustee. However within business, the media, academia, finance or government, Interdependency is an altar every globalist in bureaucracy prays upon. When independence or sovereignty is interject its castigated as outdated, immoral and dangerous so much as to shatter the bounds of the nation-state. Pretty much everything you covered under trade is regulated in Brussels or some other regional trade negotiation. You failed to mention our country's entangling alliances with foreign militaries or merged New Economies.

I know globalism and expansion of elitist institutions will continue to dominate and ultimately crush our nation. Most of it was driven from the US.
