Talking about a world economy,i.e. "Globalization". I got this a while back and you may have already seen it but this sure has a lot of truth to it:
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come? Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian
boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky,
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by Indian, using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese
chips,
and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Pakistan lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican
illegals.....
That, my friend, is Globalization !
