BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and put them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers.

PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

BUREAUCRACY: You have two 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.

Your son’s son’s son’s son comes and returns a cow; Israel shoots your son’s son’s son’s son and steals the cow. And the story goes on…
Arab Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government arrests and tortures one of the cows on suspicion of being Al-Qaeda bovine. Gives the other cow a good government position to buy it off. And when you become cow-less, you complain on Al-Jazeera’s call-in show Menbar Al-Baqar.
Bushism: Yous has two cows but more cows will be needed to win the war on terror in Ayraq.
Neo-cons: You have two cows. Neo-con think tanks call for liberating the oppressed cow, which now one seems able to identify, and herald teh coming of the New Barn. Once the oppressed cow is liberated, it’s BBQ’ed medium-rare and served with beer during a monumental celebration of the success of Operation Freedom and Democracy. The other cow left in the barn does not know what it all means but enjoys the taste of medium-rare BBQ.
Zionists: we have two cows and they need land to graze. Take more land.
The Palestinians aren’t using it anyways!
