                             PART II
               by Stephen L. Schultz, the Creator

Cow on skate-board    Cow at running      Cow without skate-board
                        (watch out!)

 That's  all folx.  All this was inflicted upon you care  of  The
Untouchables!  However, there is a bit more that has, indirectly,
also  something  to  do  with  cows.   It  also  came  from   the
Untouchables mag, and was done by the Green Gables...

Communism:          You have two cows.  The government takes both
                    of them and gives you part of the milk.

Socialism:          You have two cows.  The government takes  one
                    of them and gives it to your neighbor.

Fascism:            You have two cows.  The government takes both
                    of them and sells you the milk.

Nazism:             You have two cows.  The government takes both
                    of them and then shoots you.

Bureaucracy:        You have two cows.  The government takes both
                    of them,  shoots one,  milks the  other,  and
                    then pours the milk down the drain.

Capitalism:         You have two cows.  You sell one of them  and
                    buy a bull.

Anarchy:            You  have two cows.  They decide you have  no
                    right  to  do anything with  their  milk  and
                    leave to form their own society.

Industrialism:      You have two cows. You dissect them both, and
                    figure  out  how  to  build  a   milk-factory
                    instead.

Centralism:         You have two cows. And a problem finding them
                    in  the  middle  of  field  with  100,000,000
                    others.

Environmentalism:   You have two cows.  You recycle the milk  and
                    give it back to the cows.

Democracy:          You have two cows. The vote is held, and they
                    win.

 Now  this is the end,  my friends,  you thought we'd never  end,
etc.
