The government gives you as much milk as >you need. > >BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: >You have two cows. The govt. takes them and puts them in a >barn with everyone elses' cows. They are cared for by >ex-chicken farmers. You have the take care of the chickens >the govt. took from the chicken farmers. The govt. gives >you as much milk as you need and as many eggs as the >regulations say you should need. > >FACISM: >You have two cows. The govt. takes them both and hires you >to take care of them, whilst selling you the milk. > >PURE COMMUNISM: >You have two cows. Your neighbours help you take care of >them, and you all share the milk. > >RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: >You have two cows.

The milk >rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian >intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by >the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven >cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report >says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one >more. Meanwhile you kill the two cows because the Feng-Shui >is bad. > >ENVIRONMENTALISM: >You have two cows. The govt. bans you from milking or >killing them. > >TOTLITARIANISM: >You have two cows. The govt. takes them and denies they >ever existed. Milk is banned. > >POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: >You are associated with (the concept of 'ownership' is an >outdated sumbol of your decadent warmongering, intolerant >past) two differently aged (but no less valuable to society) >bovines of non-specified gender. > >COUNTER-CULTURE: >Wow, dude, there's like... these two cows, man. You got to >have some of this milk. > >SURREALISM: >You have two giraffes. The govt. requires you to take >harmonica lessons.

COUNTER-CULTURE: >Wow, dude, there's like... these two cows, man. You got to >have some of this milk. > >SURREALISM: >You have two giraffes. The govt. requires you to take >harmonica lessons. soooooo true! Theocracy: God created the cows that's ALL that matter, now go and pray! TECHNOCRACY: the government genetically modifies the cows and merges them with VATS to produce unlimited milk with just 2 cows TYRANNY: the cows and u are made to do slave labour Coporate Republic: The cows are sold over and over again making people millionaires and returning to you at the same price.
