DANISH CORPORATION
You buy 2 cows and 1 bull
The government demands that you pay them a fee equal to 200% of the value of cows
You pay, cause you don't want to go to jail
You breed the cows to make more
You have 6 cows and 1 bull
The government takes 3 cows in taxes
You quit your job and the government pays you for doing nothing
You drink wine
Life is good

You have two cows
The Elder's take your cow's because no one "owns" anything privately
Unfortunately, all the men find the cows too attractive and banish them from the village

The South AFRICAN cow
Some do-goodie English welfare organisation decides they know excatly how to solve the problems caused by apartheid, 20 years after the fact.
They pick on a remote impoverished township, move in, clear the bush, build cow sheds, dig a well put up a water-tank on a tower, and spend 3 years teaching the local inhabitants how to farm with cows.
Under their guidance, the original 2 cows become plenty cows and the the inhabitants are creating a steady income selling milk to neighbouring townships.
The do-goody English organisation pats itself on the back, has news conferences, becomes well known, gets given lots and lots of cash for its postive contribution in eradicating the scurge of apartheid.
They go back to England
Within 6 months all the cows have been slaughtered for traditional weddings, the water tank has blown off the tower, and the tilled ground is slowly becomming scrub-land. and the township is just as impoverished as before.
Wanna know the sick part of this?
Substitute chickens for cows and the story is 100% fact
I know not the name of the organisation, but the Township is Makalokwe about 1Km from the farm where I go.
