I saw a study at a university that correlated Politicians with natural,
convincing liars in high school and it was overwhelmingly true...

I do enjoy the politician analogy. IMO, the underlying drawback of
democratic processes is that you'll end up being led by people who
honestly believe they're better than everyone else. The person who is
willing to stand in front of a crowd of thousands and declare "vote for
me because I am /clearly/ the best person for this job" is basically
guaranteed to be a narcissist or an idiot. You're probably better off
with the narcissist, but sometimes you'll get the idiot. It would be
best of all if you can get a person who is at once stable, ethical, and
competent, but that's only going to happen 1% of the time. The
narcissists will lie to manipulate people and the idiots will promise
the impossible because they don't know better. Either way they'll say
things voters like better than the nuanced facts of real life.
I'd love some sort of meritocratic control mechanism built into the
process, but it's hard to imagine a way to prevent such a thing from
being corrupted.

Maybe people see chickens pecking at the ground and assume they eat
dirt. Cracked corn is indeed cheap. Whenever I go to Farm&Fleet or
RuralKing, they have lots of bags of chicken feed, so chickens must be
popular.
I remember when my daughter still lived with us, she decided she
wanted to raise some ducks. She literally mail ordered ducklings. I
suspect most people would buy chicks rather than have a rooster and
raise their own. Even our local pig farms are not typically
farrow-to-finish, same with cows. Raising the babies and then feeding
them to slaughter tend to be separate specialties.
Some people say Mick Jagger reminds them of a rooster. I think
politicians are like roosters. Noisy, self absorbed, don’t produce
any eggs, aren’t even good eating, but you still need them.

They don't live that long too so you only get eggs for a year or so..
so you need roosters and if you have roosters you can have fertilized
eggs... and loud and annoying noises ! We have rules in our town you
can't have roosters because the noise bothers neighbors. Texas on the
other hand everyone lives far apart :)

I wonder if they understand what it takes to raise a chicken so it
will lay eggs. Where are they going to house them, what are they
going to feed them? So Stupid.
