Law of the coop and law of the land

OK, so i really screwed up today.  i took the girls their morning veges and cottage cheese and instead of opening their little door i opened the big one.  Not really a problem except i forgot to open the little door.  i closed the big door and went off to work.  

When i got home from work Budda was out in the yard.  That happens occasionally; she can fly over the seven foot fencing if she wants, but doesn't normally.  Carmen and Precious are too plump to make that leap even if they wanted to.  Budda doesn't go far if she does get out and when i open the gate to their pen, she goes right back in.  

Well, while i was talking to them i realized i had not opened the door to their coop so they did not have access to their food and water.  Oh, my gosh.  I felt so bad.  I opened up the big door, they hopped in and started eating like mad.  Then i found one egg on the ground.  Geez, i feel like a horrible mother.  Oy!

It is interesting to wonder what it was like for Budda.  One of my cats, Hawthorne, was hanging around the yard, as he is inclined to do, so they must have been eyeing each other.  They are used to each other but there is normally a fence between them.  Both my cats, Nathaniel and Hawthorne, are pretty much over the chickens at this point.

This blog is suppose to be about chickens and politics but i really haven't posted anything political.  Today i realized that the financial crisis we are experiencing and the so called fix that the Treasury secretary is proposing is just another attempt to use the shock doctrine.  Check out Naomi Klein's commentary on Huffington Post today for more on that.  

i don't think the shock is going to work.  I cannot believe they are trying to pass a fix that would not allow oversight or the rule of law to interfere with their decisions.  Good Goddess, that's totalitarianism!  Or fascism... something like that.  Do people who support this administration think that totalitarianism would not touch them?  Do they not understand that their own families and communities would be adversely effected by it?  

As a liberal, i have felt vulnerable for the last eight years but for conservatives to think they would be unscathed by fascism is self-deception.  Wow, i am so amazed at how deceived my countrymen have become.  

That's enough for today.  Tomorrow, less about chickens and more about politics.
