Sainath says: "...Giant corporations having brought the worlds economies to its knees in 2008..."

Well, it is the giant corporation that gave the worlds economies the ability to stand in the first place. Or to put it better, the world economy stands and falls with these giant corporations. We're better off working together, Mr Sainath, because we need each other.

Many theses could be written on this

found this comment on well, an Atif Aslam video on youtube

(Okay, so Pakistani pop-rock is for some reason perfect music to write to. I don't quite know why. )

This comment explains many things, albeit from a limited point of view:

Indians good in creating computer languages.They function from head.Pakistanis are just different.They use heart and use too much of it. That's why so many beautiful melodies of hearts and whole country is full of singers,each one has different style and great songs.Good for India and good for Pak.They are just different.Not same.Indians copy Pakistani songs.Pakistanis watch Indians movies.One loves others songs,other loves bollywood.Both love and hate each other,and both split inside & confused.

comment comment

An anonymous comment that is intelligent is one of the greatest compliments a blog post can be served; beaten out only by a non-anonymous comment from someone you don't know - but it is of course difficult for someone who doesn't know you to know that a non-anonymous comment comes from someone you didn't know.

Thus anonymous comments can serve as a separating equilibrium device if such things exist.
