    and nothing to do with quake @<IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif" WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

    A quick, easy-to-understand guide to political ideologies;

    FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

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

    PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbours help you take care of
    them, and you all share the milk.

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

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

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

    SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. The government fines you for
    keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment.

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

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

    AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you
    vote for it. 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 two cows. You feed them sheep brains and they
    go mad. The government doesn't do anything.

    EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY: 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. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours
    the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting
    for the missing cows.

    CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

    HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three 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 get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for
    keeping five 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 right 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
    of bad feng shui.

    LESBIANISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf.

    TOTALITARIANISM:You have two cows. The government takes them and denies
    they ever existed. Milk is banned.

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

    COUNTERCULTURE: Wow, dude, there's like...these two cows, man. You have
    *got* to have some of this milk.

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