The lesser of two chickens?
Q: What’s the difference between a chicken and an egg?
A: An egg needs certain favorable conditions to turn into a chicken. An egg can be cracked, squashed, scrambled, drained, rotted; the chick starved, stunted, left out in the cold, predated upon, cannibalized. Killing a chicken is a much more effortful, violent affair, because it has the will and the ability to survive and reproduce on its own. You have to be willing to shoot it, wring its neck, chop off its head, or something, in order to kill a chicken. Many people aren’t up to the task, so the chicken gets to live. And lay eggs. And make more chickens. And then killing just one chicken gets you no where.
Dammitall, am I going to have to vote for McCain?
Sigh.
Obama and his wife scare the piss out of me.

ditto. I’ve been pretty much “anybody but Obama” since he seemed a major contendor. *sigh*
