Right.  Then, the question is, *how* do we create such a world of 
interdependence, instead of the current world market of international 
debt servitude?  I'd like to see folks discuss this question 
seriously.  The Seattle & A16 protests went fantastically, *as far 
as* tactical questions of civil disobedience, creative & energetic 
actions & marches in the streets, etc. are concerned.  Beyond 
tactical successes for the moment, though, where do we go from here?
