POPSPolitics Explained 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.

POPSThe Politics of Two Cows I love making complex concepts simple. There are more examples on the actual page. I really hate this 1000 character clip limit!

POPSMythos Justifies Pathos So, this surreal story has turned into a media spectacle, but it strikes me as sad, since it is being used by everyone to fulfill different cultural metanarratives that all happen to intersect at a single point in space and time. The Koreans are using it to illustrate Filial Piety and the importance of loyalty to blood relations (a national mania). Americans (including Christians who adopt children to indoctrinate them) feel smugly superior because we saved him from the pitiful life led by all those non-Americans. He fulfills his narrative of finding a physical source for his being. However, the post-modern punchline is that the "Daddy" failed the DNA tests. The two aren't even related! All of these different metanarratives we created are just delusions that superficially satisfy our desire for the confirmation of our presumptions and prejudices! Mythos justifies Pathos.

POPSPolitics explained They use the 'two cows' principle, it is old, but I don't remember seeing such a complete list before, if ever. I have clipped enough to fill the clip, but there are more examples at the site.

POPSThe Magic Realism of Rob Gonsalves Although Gonsalves' work is often categorized as surrealistic, it differs due to the fact that the images are deliberately planned and result from conscious thought.
