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?
