Miami is not Seattle. Both cities are beacons of the future, yet they light the way on different economic paths. Seattle, the Emerald City, the city of the new economy, high expectations, high technology and "high-road" capitalism. Miami, the Gateway to the Americas, a labor camp teeming with the refugees of imperialism, the poorest city in America. It's fitting that trade summits in each city should produce such different results.

There are certain optical illusions that are extremely resistant to "demystification"; only by breaking them down into components too small for recognition of the overall form can we escape their trap. Yet as soon as we add back enough atomized material to recognize the original form, we cannot resist the illusion.
