Way To Drop The Ball, India

The country of India has a dream. A dream to end the suffering of millions if not billions of lives. In simple terms, India wants to create an effective poultry vaccine against the H5N1 bird flu. Kennedy wanted to go to the moon, Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted to stop hundreds of years of racial biggotry and separation, and the nation of India wants to keep their chickens from getting the flu. I figured they would want to stop mad cow disease since cows are sacred or maybe they would want figure out how to stop monkeys from flinging crap on people since monkeys are sacred but, apparently, the people of India are fairly fond of chickens as well. Regardless, because of their drive and focus, India might have indeed created a vaccine that will stop poultry across the nation from ever again having to deal with a stuffy beak and an inability to cluck due to sore throat. However, in their quest, India forgot to build a facility that can actually house a live vaccine; which is absolutely crucial if you want to stop chickens from getting the flu. How embarrassing. When America decided that it wanted to go to the moon, the first thing it did was build a shuttle that could damn well take it to the moon! Why? Because if your gonna think big you gotta be big! When Reagan decided he was gonna end the Cold War by amassing thousands of nuclear weapons, what did he do? He amassed thousands of nuclear weapons, that's what he did! So, India, if you say your gonna stop millions of chickens from ever again experiencing the ill effects of the flu you better be damn well able to back that shit up! Otherwise, leave the dreaming to the countries who don't just dream, they do the dream.

Here's the article.
