So I got this neat little toolbar thingy called Stumble Upon (which I suggest
for any of you that love randomosity). Basically there's a website that
asks what you like about the internet, and has you download a toolbar.
Then when you're bored online you can click the "Stumble" button and it
brings up a random page based on the things you like.
My interestes include; humor, kayaking, poetry, writing, satire, and
travel. Stumble Upon brought up the following page. One of the words at
the top of the page caught my attention and I thought it worth sharing.
Really it's only fnord that caught my attention, but the page is pretty funny.
Here is the link to that page:

Here is the text as copied and pasted by me:
It's only a game. Really. Fnord.
Politics Explained
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
