The Spanish Flu virus, a variety of avian flu, killed millions in 1919-1920. I remember as a kid hearing my Aunt and GrandMother talk about how the Spanish flu killed my Aunt’s first husband. Here’s an excerpt from an article found on The Daily Reckoning:
Cisco Systems, the $25 billion networking gear provider, on Friday said it will consider India as a manufacturing base as it reaps the benefits of the burgeoning Asia-Pacific market. The company which competes with peers such as Lucent and Nortel also said it will invest a further $50 million to expand its Bangalore development centre. This will be in addition to the $1.1 billion investment, John Chambers, president & CEO, committed to India recently for the next three years.

The aspartame is killing you! Think, I’m kidding? Then read this…

They can’t compete with Asian companies because the Asians make cheaper products. And in the homeland, consumers are running out of money.

I grew up saying “Beam Me Up, Scotty.” I grew older alternating between “Calgon, Take Me Away” and “Beam Me Up, Scotty” whenever the world got to be too much. (Like commercials and slogans don’t have any impact on the subconscious…)
