Famous historic agreements and events happen on various soils - as in country's or properties owned by stars or the rich and famous or politically established. I have a problem with that.
First of all that property is generally so removed from the actual event it is trying to control or address that it is meaningless.
Its like signing a deal on the water off the coast of Madagascar to set the Bundesbank funds rate. Who? What?
So it is with all these idiotic locales that someone chose without asking me.
Bretton Woods system is one that oft gets cited as the one that led us out of the woods..who picked this mountain resort and who is this Bretton? Why that specifically? I mean when the WWII was raging they could have put themselves in the thick of it and done the deal on the beaches of Normandy?
Camp David- what the heck is that? It is not a camp. There are no cloth tents or mosquito nets where the leaders go to hob nob gobble? Where are the pictures of the Arab leaders skewering their marshmallows on open fire? Another ridiculous location and even more ridiculous events that follow..
World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland - Now why would you make all these people burn precious little gasoline to get up on the mount to yak about how to improve our world. I vote that it be held in Dharavi slums of Mumbai. That will teach them whats wrong with the world.
Among human crayons I am Brown. Also, my thoughts bounce around and resemble the idea of Brownian motion. This blog is an interface for the reader into this unique jello I call my mind. A mind so fertile anything grows. An agnostic yet curious mind. A mind attempting the Horatian or Kabirism maxim of Carpe Diem or Aaj kareso aab. Rated W I L D for wilfully irritating to large demographic is sometimes the latter - graphic in its descriptions. Caveat Lector!
It might, or it might not...but the point is well-taken.
