But I do think that this is, indeed, what "we" in
"their" ostensibly "American" multinationally
corporate world are fidning out, no? That "They" and
"We" are complementary terms, deeply implicated in,
intricately interlaced with, thoroughly codeterminate
of, each other. Slippery things, those pronouns, and
I'm under the impression that Gravity's Rainbow
operates with no small awareness of this ...
