globalization & Pynchon?

[Doug Millison]

I don't have a copy of V. here, and don't recall the passage, sorry. 

P's novels show complex causality, don't they? Nature is a force to be
reckoned with, even as humans try to bend Her to their will. In their
attempts -- attempts which often involve humans acting through the agency of
a corporation -- humans make bad shit happen that we can catalog alongside
strictly "natural" disasters. We have earthquakes and we also have Nazi war
crimes and genocide which put actual profits into the pockets of actual
corporations (which support actual politicians...).  Consider the rainbow, a
phenomenon of Nature -- P links it to the Rocket's path, and to the
religious-mythic-imperial systems that take it as a metaphor for God's
covenant with man:  Nature, technology, religion/myth/politics, P plays with
it all.  He backs all the way up and seems to seek ultimate causes in the
limitations of language and a philosophy.  He zooms in to focus on a single
dying Dora slave laborer (and links that Holocaust victim to specific
multinational corporations and cartels that profit from her suffering). Many
levels, to which we as readers can respond, singly or in the aggregate.

calbert:
details the toll of various accidents and disasters around the world...I 
cannot glean any intent to make corporations liable.......Why is this 
passage there?
