Bureaucracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureaucracy) â?? Indian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India):
You have two cows. But since these cows are holy cows, you cannot tell them what to do, or milk them, or do anything useful with them. The cows however, have no such barriers. The emerging liberal democracy requires one to fill out 37 triplicate forms before killing anything, and cows cannot write. Thus the cows do not slaughter you, you do not slaughter the cows, and the pacifist monks are satisfied.
Capitalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism) â?? Italy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy):
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch. When you come back from lunch, the TV and the Press (which you own) are announcing that the two cows have reproduced to become 2,000 cows during lunch. You and your brand-new colleague, Rino "Chi-Chi the cat-buggerer" Torricelli (a respected Sicilian businessman with an international pharmeceutical empire) now qualify for a huge EEC grant. You still don't know where the cows are.
Capitalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism) â?? New Economy:
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull, which you use to breed to the other cow. Then you create a website and start offering to export sperm from the bull to anyone and everyone, especially emerging markets, over the Internet. After a few weeks, your company completes its IPO on NASDAQ, and a few brokerage firms start coverage with a strong buy rating for this wonderful new Internet stock. Your stock zooms from the 10c per share initial offering price to $110, when you sell. The stock plummets back to 10c a few months later when the investors who bought it realise that your business has no earnings and never will, despite the Internet presence. Several law firms and the SEC bring various civil and criminal actions against the company, all of the officers and directors and (of course) you, under various fraud theories. You quickly settle the civil cases so the lawyers get paid, but you still have plenty stashed away. You plead nolo in the SEC case, and you are sentenced to ten years in prison, of which you actually serve seven weeks. When you come out, you buy two chickens
Cartesian dualism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_dualism):

FDAism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDA):
You have two cows. You force one to drink 400 gallons of water a day. It stops producing milk and dies. You ban water. The second cow has cancer. There is a cancer treatment that has existed for 15 years and has been proven to work, but can no longer be produced because the synthesis requires water. It can't get the treatment it needs and dies. You put the company under investigation.

Hempelism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_paradox):
You have two cows. This increases the probability that a given animal you don't have isn't a cow
Instant Messaging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Messaging):
You have two cows. They don't say "moo," they say "lol," "g2g," "brb," and "roflmbo." Whenever you try to milk them, they either warn you, block you, or log out.
Kafkaism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka):
You have two cows. One of them turns into a giant bug which eventually dies as a symbol of personal alienation from society. The other one arrests you for an unspecified reason and in the end shoots you without an explanation, instantly nullifying the purpose of your very existance.
Libertarianism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian) #1:
Go away. What I do with my cows is none of your business.
Libertarianism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian) #2 - Favorable View:
You have two cows. One has actually read the constitution, believes in it, and has some really good ideas about government.
