I loved this quip from David Brooks' October 30 column in the New York Times.

"Anti-Globalization. In 1999, a group of mostly left-wing activists protested free trade and globalization at a World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle. I would love to go back in time and watch their faces as I told them who their eventual savior would turn out to be."
