Thanks for posting this!!! What a great piece. It's great to hear folks talking about what's really going on!
If you're interested in hearing/reading more about the inside story of outsourcing and offshoring, check out http://www.kaystoner.com -- it connects the flawed assumptions around Indian offshoring with the flawed assumptions that scandalized the publishing industry last spring, when Kaavya Viswanathan was accused of plagiarizing her chick-lit novel. There are a lot of parallels... but you have to take the time to look closely to find them. And that's what my new book, "Bring Me the Head of Opal Mehta" does.
This is important, people. We need to start talking realistically about offshoring and outsourcing -- based on facts, not projected numbers!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
