30 to 40 years? You're kidding, right? And even if it
were that long, that could be potentially worse. Then you're talking at least one, maybe two generations of Indians who have become dependent upon Mother Coke to pay off their debts and put food on their tables.
The whole idea behind this neato- cool globalization stuff is that an interdependancy of markets is supposed to make everybody better. Ya know, all boats rise together sort of thing?? This is hardly the case when you have third world nations serving as exporting nations to Western nations that are primarily importing nations. There's one boat rising, and it's got DVD players with surround sound.

Hell, they've got social problems up the ass that they still need to deal with, specifically their caste system that continues to endure despite efforts to halt it.

This shouldn't be our business, and Coca-cola providing a few jobs for ex-farmers certainly isn't going to crack into this.

There are already people in India left with "no water, no domestic infrastructure, and an ignorant class offactory workers." And you know who put them there? Other Indians, not corporations.

Right. So back to how that justifies perpetuating such conditions....?
