Savage Chickens by Doug Savage for November 11, 2024

Some questions never age. They may get old really quick, but they are timeless.

Because too many people are easily misled. And not enough listening to each other going on.

The Predator vs Prey factor is ingrained into all Life on Earth, lowest to ‘highest’.

greed and lust for power

Easy, we differ on the definition of ‘better place’ and what should be sacrificed to get there, and the ‘other side’ is evil – mostly according to social and news media.

There’s a scene in Heinlein’s “Stranger In A Strange Land” where the protagonist gains a sense of humor and an understanding of what motivates humans while watching some monkeys in a zoo.

SPOILER ALERT FOR 63 YEAR OLD NOVEL*****

He tosses a peanut to a medium sized monkey. A bigger monkey comes over, hits him, and takes the peanut. The medium sized monkey screams his frustration, then goes over and attacks an even smaller monkey that was minding its own business. The smallest monkey can do nothing but cry.

You should now have a complete understanding of human behavior, and be laughing, crying, or both. If you have a peanut allergy, keep an epipen close, and curse Joe Manchin’s daughter!

this creator is amazingly creative, ngl

this dude def deserves more viewers

“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” has an amusing way of describing the date as being the late 20th century: “…almost 2,000 years after a man was nailed to a tree for saying how wonderful it would be if everyone was nice to each other for a change.” Similarly sums it up. We do seem to pick the second choice an awful lot.

We have wildly divergent views on what “better” means. We also have wildly divergent views on who “we” includes.

“It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.”― Terry Pratchett, Jingo

I wonder how many people profess “Love your neighbour” but but vote just the opposite

Chickens got morals!!!!!!!!!!! :)

After a big election, the losing side always has to recalibrate who they are to be closer to the zeitgeist of society. Elections are political reset buttons.

Put me down for Option #1, please.

Profit margins…

Walt Kelly was a cartoonist who wrote “Pogo”. I think the main character was a possum. At one point, near the end of a war, he paraphrased “We have met the enemy, and they are us.”

Love the thought that went into this one, but I am curious as to why adding eyebrows to chickens makes them look so angry and evil.

Doug savage is fr the goat

always finds ways to entertain us
