POLITICS

Sorry about the lack of posts during the past few weeks:

I was traveling in the midwest teaching "Improving Balance and Decreasing Fall Risk Using T'ai Chi", then I was on vacation for a week, then I was traveling in Texas teaching the class. Updates and posts from these trips to follow (this week, I hope).

I am also working on getting a new e-mail newsletter out (after about a year going unpublished)--I am just putting the finishing touches on the last article, which I began on the plane to San Antonio, TX.

These definitions of the various "isms" seem to fit pretty well:

POLITICS

Socialism: You have two cows and you give one to your neighbor.

Communism: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you some milk.

Fascism: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you the milk.

Nazism: You have two cows, the government takes both and shoots you.

Bureaucratism: You have two cows, the government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.

Capitalism: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull.
