NP: How to explain Enron to your children

[The Great Quail]

Good one, Toby!

I have only one suggestion:

>Communism - You have two cows. Your neighbors help take care of them 
>and you share the milk.

How about,

Communism --You have two cows. Your neighbors help take care of them 
and you share the milk, until one of your neighbors forms an entity 
known as the PolitMooreau. After liberating your cows in the name of 
the People, you are sold skim milk produced at the People's Uprising 
Against Udder Oppression Goat Milk Factory. You never see your cows 
again; which is fine, considering all your other neighbors except one 
were found dead in Mexico with milking stools sticking mysteriously 
out of their foreheads.
