For centuries, cows have been the specie that has stood on the frontier when it comes to providing humans with necessary services like food (milk, meat etc.) and played an important role in agriculture in terms of aiding farmers clear land in different ways (eating grass, plowing etc.)

Let's look at it from another point of view. How would the world look like without cows? How would the history of mankind look without cows? It gives a terrifying perspective, doesn't it?

There is no doubt that we could be worse off without cows. From the products that cows provide us we get important substances like vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential amino acids and other trace elements that we need to be able to survive. If we didn't have these products, gathering enough of these vital substances, humans would find it difficult to find enough other nourishment to be able to leave a healthy and active life.

That is why I am proposing that we should allow cows to be able to vote in state and heads of state elections. They have given us so much. Now it is time that we give them something back. Sure, the communication part of it all could prove to be difficult, but that has little or no relevance. As most of you know, there have been experiments carried out checking how much milk is being produced depending on what type of music cows listen to. The results are astonishing. Let's make cows listen to the speeches of presidential candidates and let the amount of milk produced decide where the vote should land.

Although this is pure crap, it is a pretty funny idea, don't you think? :wink:

This is a futile attempt on the part of Democrats to win the next election.

Well the RNC has pledged to begin a pro-milk campaign aimed at cow voters so 2006 shoudl be close.

Doesn't stress cause cows to dry up? I think forcing them to listen to political speeches would destroy milk production.

If cows can vote, they should be allowed to contest elections as well .
Miss Moo O' Brian for president !
