    The Two Cows Guide to Political Ideologies

    A Quick and Easy Guide To Understanding Political Ideologies:

    FEUDALISM
    You have 2 cows. Your Lord takes some of the Milk

    FASCISM
    You have 2 cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care
    of them and sells you the Milk

    PURE COMMUNISM
    You have 2 cows. Your neighbours take care of them and you all
    share the milk.

    APPLIED COMMUNISM
    You have 2 cows. You have to take care of them but the government
    takes all the milk.

    DICTATORSHIP
    You have 2 cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

    MILITARISM
    You have 2 cows. The government takes both and drafts you.

    PURE DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. Your neighbours decide who gets the milk.

    REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. Your neighbours pick someone to tell you who gets the
    milk.

    NIGERIAN DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. The government takes both, shoots you and sends the
    cows
    to
    Zurich.

    AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
    The government promises to give you 2 cows if you vote for them.
    After the election the President is impeached for speculating in
    Cow futures. The Press dubs the affair "Cowgate".
    The cow sues you for breach of contract.

    BRITISH DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. You feed them sheep's brains and they go mad.
    The government doesn't do anything.

    EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. At first the government regulates what you can
    feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them.
    After that it takes both, shoots one and milks the other, pouring the
    milk down the drain.
    Then it requires you to fill out forms regarding the missing cows.

    SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY
    You have 2 cows. The government fines you for keeping 2 unlicensed farm
    animals in your apartment.

    CAPITALISM
    You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a Bull

    HONG KONG CAPITALISM
    You have 2 cows. You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company,
    using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank,
    then execute a debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that
    you
    can get all 4 cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping 5 cows. The
    milk
    rights of 6 cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a
    Cayman
    Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells
    the
    rights to all 7 cows milk back to the listed company. The annual report
    says that the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more.
    Meanwhile,
    you kill the 2 cows because of bad Feng Shui.

    TOTALITARIANISM
    You have 2 cows. The government takes both and denies they ever existed.
    Milk is banned.

    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
    You are associated with (the concept of "ownership" is a symbol of the
    phallucentric, warmongering, intolerant past) two differently aged (but
    no
    less valuable to society) bovines of unspecified gender.

    SURREALISM
    You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica
    lessons.

    .Capitalism -
    You have two cows that should be used to provide milk for you and your neighbours. They are taken from you by a multinational cow corporation. You milk them all day making the corporation enough money to buy four cows. You get paid a pint of milk. The government taxes you quarter of a pint. It gives the corporation a cow tax amnesty.

    We own no cows, however Gartner says the Cow market
    will be 5.8 billion dollars by 2003. We're building the north american Cow portal to capture all the vertical cow market
    and provide a b2b e-cow site.
    Then we'll be SURE to make money!
