There has been a request for a post on the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh. We here at 11D aim to please, so here goes.

I am fascinated by the anti-globalization protests. Flashmobs are amazing. I have some sympathies for their concerns. In about twenty minutes, I'll be heading over to the local farmers' market to buy lettuce and radishes. When it comes to food, I'm a firm believer that local is better.

On the other hand, how can a blogger be against globalization? The Internet has contributed to the globalization of information. With information comes power and freedom. 

One of the big issues on the table for the summit will be Wall Street bonuses. Clearly, I cannot be objective on this topic, so I'll pass.

So, Pittsburgh readers, please give us your on-the-ground commentary.
