It's time to dig up that old article from rec.humour.funny: Guide to politicial systems --------------------------- Socialism - You have two cows. The government takes one to give to someone else. Communism - You have two cows. The government takes both and gives you the milk. Fascism - You have two cows. The government takes both and sells you the milk. Nazism - You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. Bureaucracy - You have two cows. The government takes both, shoots one, and pours the milk down the drain. Capitalism - You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <[email protected]> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.
