Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration,
as a chicken which has the daring and courage to
boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom
among them has the strength to contend with such a
paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the
princely chicken's dominion maintained.

Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.

Douglas Adams: Forty-two.

Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.

Oliver North: National Security was at stake.

B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will.

Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused potential occurrence.

Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.

Salvador Dali: The Fish.

Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Johann von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

The Sphinx: You tell me.

Mr. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

Chaucer: So priketh hem nature in hir corages.

Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.

The Godfather: I didn't want its mother to see it like that.

Keats: Philosophy will clip a chicken's wings.

Blake: To see heaven in a wild fowl.

Othello: Jealousy.

Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.

Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in town ought never expose one to such barbarous inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the chicken in question.

Kafka: Hardly the most urgent enquiry to make of a low-grade insurance clerk who woke up that morning as a hen.

Swift: It is, of course, inevitable that such a loathsome, filth-ridden and degraded creature as Man should assume to question the actions of one in all respects his superior.

Hamlet: That is not the question.

Donne: It crosseth for thee.

mr. quinn,

I read with great interest your marvellous line of reasoning for making sure those dirty homosexuals stay in their place. I applaud your ability to keep in line with the fine old irish traditions of intolerance and hatred of change

What I was thinking is maybe we should make divorce and contraception illegal again? after all aren't divorcing parents undermining marraige and their children's future? those selfish godless bastards. spitting in the face of the baby jesus so they are. and trampling on their children's faces, identities and self-esteem. ACTUALLY divorce prob makes people gay! i'm tellin ya now. And contraception no more leads to babies...

oh or maybe we should extend this ban to infertile heterosexual couples? those selfish people are clearly only getting married to fleece the rest of the healthy reproductive heterosexuals.

what about heterosexual couples that get married but choose not to have children? the state should definitely keep an eye on that. in fact someone should probably be present on the wedding night to make sure there's blood on the sheets, you know the deed has been done. wouldn't do to have women having sex OUTSIDE of marriage. woah!! she might become a single mother. you must really hate them eh? those women, raising children with no men. and sure don't all single mothers produce homosexuals and criminals? they're totally lame.

Ah and I love denying people the right to visit their partners in ICU, or have foreign partners get visas for this country to strengthen heterosexual couples.

Anyway homosexuals don't REALLY love one another, all that sodomy. . . seriously. makes me SICK. and as for lesbians, sure neither of them has a penis so they CLEARLY can't have sex. did i mention i hate women? maybe we should take the vote off them too. get them back in the kitchen and put the marraige bar back in place. sure don't children need the mammy to make the few spuds for them when they get in from school? i can't believe these selfish bitches having a career these days. tsk tsk. that's deffo undermining marraige there.

oh here's me getting off topic . .. it's all this hatred and intolerance for different people, i can't control it! it explodes out of me in frothy rage-filled articles for hack-rag-newspapers

here's one of my FAVE quotes from you:
"How else do we explain the fact that it is about to give to same-sex couples all of the benefits they give to married couples even though same-sex couples cannot give a child a mother and father? "
How indeed Davey? how? don't get me started on giving the homosexuals benefits. . . sure they're not heterosexual! it's madness! gays don't want children, their selfish and shallow caring only for IKEA and their hair. and even they did want to adopt there'd be no mother AND father!! just one or the other? the mind BOGGLES!

oh holy jesus can you imagine a child from a homosexual partnership? the child won't know his arse from his elbow. if you ask me, little johnny better fit into his gender roles and be playing with guns and repressing emotions by the age of 5 or it's the wooden spoon for him. i won't even talk about mary because she's cleaning the house with mammy and not expressing her opinions like a good girl.

What about all that valid scientific research proving that children coming from homosexual relationships are less likely to succeed than their heterosexual counterparts. . . oh wait. yes there's none of that . . . oh, BUT the bible does say that homosexuals are sinful. that's good enough for me.

have to say i'm not doing too well trying to make myself straight. i'm trying very hard i assure you and one day i hope to succeed to achieve equality under irish law. until then i'll have to just avoid looking at girl's breasts and drink myself into a stupor to try and drown out the disgusting truth that I AM A HOMOSEXUAL. oh david, it makes me sick. i'm one of them, those selfish unfit for parentin

I have loads of fun stuff to do before the year is out. Out being the word as a load of it is gay stuff. God how ever did i fill my time before i came out i do not know.

There is a big gay fancy dress party this weekend. Am on the commitee so have to help decorate. Hoping the gay guys live up to the sterotype and help out/work wonders. Going as a fallen angel, i think. I like the symbolism . . . . . and have the wings already. lol

Mid term tests this week and the week after next. ~Sigh~ definately not fun. Especially as I dont think I will do well in one of them. Have not understood a thing so far this year and that does not bode well.

Fundraising for pink training as the QT (Queer Tralee) is going in two weeks time and I am the Chair. Big gay quiz on Tuesday night downtown and have arranged a load of prizes so hopefully people come and spend spend spend!

Have a gay conference comming up. AND i am on the commitee for that too. (Volunteer much!) At least that seems on track and stuff is mostly organised.

Sick of writing so Done Now!! hah
