Politics Explained
-
I found this on this blog http://www.inbetweenmeals.com/ thought it was pretty funny though not all I'd agree with.
FEUDALISM: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all of the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.
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. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and eggs as the regulations say you need.
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 neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.
RUSSIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.
CAMBODIAN COMMUNISM: You have two cows. The government takes both of them and shoots you.
DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you.
PURE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you 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. Then 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.
PURE ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill you.
LIBERTARIAN/ANARCHO-CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

Finally, a readable politics topic!

I couldn't help but notice that your portrait has changed from Caligula's head on a coin to what I presume is your own head. What is your fascination with the Roman tyrant?

Sorry I didn't mean to be rude(or funny) at all. English is not my first language.

Well, I have no special fascination with him at all (actually, apart from being a pain for his own family, until he went mad, he was not a bad emperor at all).
Maybe the reason to pick that coin was that he was called "Gaius Caesar"
And yes, that's my own head and although Plot Paris made a "combo" of the two for me, I am now using the "original" instead (maybe will change again once I get bored with it - after all I see it every day when shaving)

I LOVE the coin!
Only Roman emperors look pretty serious on coins.
