    Default "Isms"

    Lol a paper from my son's 9th grade Alaska Studies class about "isms". I thought it was funny and also wondered if any school in the lower 48 would have a handout that mentioned shooting government agents in any context.


    Socialism: You have two cows. Give one cow to your neighbor.
    Communism: You have two cows. Give both cows to the government and they may give you some milk.
    Fascism: You have two cows. You give all the milk to the government and the government sells it.
    Nazism: You have two cows. The government shoots you and takes both cows.
    Anarchism: You have two cows. Keep both cows, shoot the government agent and steal another cow.
    Capitalism: You have two cows. Sell one cow and buy a bull.
    Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government makes you take harmonica lessons.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    I saw that many years ago, and it is still funny.
    Thanks for the grin.

    Hilarious! And no, you would never see anything like that outside a university campus where I'm from.
