By posting a pic of a chicken swimming, you're debunking the premise of this thread. Ought not there be some form of penalty for such out-right insubordination?
You, yourself may be duck-like, in that you can tolerate democracy, whereas the chicken (probably thrown into the pond) spent it's last dying moments trying desperatly to reach the safety of the shore.
Keep it up and I'll smack you with my oligarchical pope hat.
If that chicken did die trying to swim, we know for certain that it did so screaming, "Give me liberty or give me death!"
