Conservative; You are morally outraged by the sight of two cows mating so you lobby the government to interfere and force everyone to go for artificial insemination. It is good for big business too so its a win/win. Small farmers go out of business and large agribusiness wins again. Its OK because they are the 'job creators'.

Libertarian; You don't care about your neighbors cows you only focus on your own and have the freedom to manage them in the way the best meets your personal needs.


Liberal; Those cows are being exploited, you don't like how cows are treated so you lobby the government. Government decides that nobody has the right to have cows so they round them all up, send them out to be slaughtered and sell the meat in Mexico. Nobody knows where the money went.

We probably agree on more things than you think. Don't take anything I say on here personally. If I got to know you we'd probably get along fine, just couldn't discuss politics.

Not quite.....The cows in Utopia got together and decided

that they were tired of humans using them as pawns in their pathetic, political pandering and eliminated them from the realm......




Truly, it was Utopia once again......but eventually the cows began to starve to death because there was
no one around who knew how to take care of all their needs....




Stupid cows......
