Riots in Zambia: The song remains the same
  • Why?

    "Who could better understand the pain that can be inflicted by corporate

    colonialism than China or India? But no one appears to be learning the

    lessons taught by past tragedies."

    The question was very likely rhetorical. However, just in case...

    Much like the abusive boss, or the fellow who figured out how to rip off some market segment, or whatever, there isn't an issue of learning. People know what happened, sometimes with alarming clarity.

    No, the problem isn't one of understanding. The problem is rather the internal response of "how do I get myself some of that?".

    For the most part, we don't take down bullies expect to put ourselves in the bully's place.
