I Rakesh Bhandari do not claim responsibility for most of the posts written under the name of Jan Carowan (in fact the posts are not in any way consistent; the early set was written by a fibre optics expert; the stuff on protectionism is basically by an Indian communist who has a Ph.D. in physics, some by me in my own voice and some by me as I mouthed the voices of others, some argue for abstention [me]; others argue for Gore). I signed one of the posts under my own name today when I asked someone to push the issue of why in their coverage of UNITE Doug and Liza did not mention its successful campaigns to deny Cambodia a quota increase and load the African Trade Bill with several protectionist measures. After all, when I was on this list, I had spent considerable time raising questions about this. But it seems I wasted my time.

As for my own inchoate views on globalization I recently aired them on the socialist register list. I basically argued that neo mercantalism is as much a problem as neo liberalism. I found myself in disagreement with Doug, Henry Liu, Patrick Bond and Sid Shniad. But then again they didn't agree with each other either. I have in fact been writing quite a bit the last few months, so I shall sign off again.

And I never said Kelley had a big, fat ass--though I am sure this is this is another thing she wishes were true.
