>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

>is bad.
>
>ENVIRONMENTALISM:
>You have two cows. The govt. bans you from milking or

>
>POLITICAL CORRECTNESS:

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.
