Hi everybody. Have any of you heard of a film entitled "Johnny Got his Gun"? I ask because it's involved in an artistic project I'd like to do with my manga as soon as I finish the one that involves "The Garden of Earthly Delights". If you have seen the movie, or even if you've heard about it, please tell me all that you know about it. I need to gauge how informed you are on that piece of media.

If you haven't noticed already, the Song of the Week is on a bit of a hiatus. -_-' I have to get my e-mail working before its back up and running.
But in light of this event, I have started a new weekly event! ^_^ I will now have a small Poll of the Week up every week! If you haven't already, please take that poll. It's up at the top of my page.

Have any of you heard of the "Two Cow" philosophy of simplifying examples of how certain governments work. Here is the original list of analogies:

Socialism

You give one cow to your neighbor and keep the other.

Communism

The government takes the cows and gives you the milk.

Fascism

The government takes the cows and sells you the milk.

Nazism

The government shoots you and keeps the cows.

Bureaucracy

The government takes the cows, shoots one, milks the other, then pours the milk down the drain.

Capitalism

You sell one cow and buy a bull.

Our assignment in history was to think up some more analogies for other political systems. Would you be at all interested in hearing some of them? But please, don't tell me any of yours until after Monday, because if you do, people will call me a plagiarist.

Thanks everybody, and I'll see you tomorrow!
