Everyone wants to raise chickens now because of the price of eggs. I've had chickens most of my life and there is a thing I have learned, chickens may break and eat an egg now and then, but you should never put the fox in charge of the henhouse. Grifters in charge of government are like that. :(

If we view the US as a huge ship of state, which is better to be stranded on a sandbar or crash on the reef? This is where our democratic/republic has taken us. We are more likely to survive on a sandbar, but many seem to think we should crash the economy and get it over with.
