Cow Analogies
Here are a bunch of those cow analogies. Some of these may
be outdated. They are only here for refferance. Also if you get offended by some of
these anolgies, please concider that a few of them apply to me and that I've tried my best to make
sure I'm not targeting just one group.
American Corporate Capitalism: You have two cows. Both cows are bloated with toxic steroids. They are set out to graze on privatized public parks, release massive amounts of flatulence that destroys the ozone layer, die from excess ultraviolet light, and are processed into meat-like products that look great as a result of clever and unprincipled marketing strategies. When you mortgage your artificially devalued farm at high interest rates in order to buy meat, you consume the poisoned material and develop terminal illnesses because there is no health care plan to treat you. The corporate management uses your purchase price to acquire THEIR meat from cows raised "naturally" on tree-free rain forest land outside of the country where labor and resources are cheap.

The American cow wins the competition, severely spraining an udder in a gritty performance, and gets a multi-million dollar contract to endorse Wheaties.
