Descartes: It crosses , therefore it is.   
  
   
  
  
Bill Clinton'sPhilosophical query to   
  
Descartes; It depends on what your meaning of "is" is.  
  
   
  
  
Post modernist challenge to Descartes and Clinton ; you have to apply a 
hermeneutics of suspicion to discern why the chicken crossed the road.

                Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they 
can keep their eggs.  No chicken will be required to cross the road to 
surrender her eggs.  Period.

               My friends, the chicken crossed the road because he recognized 
the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the 
other side of the road.

                   What difference at this point does it make why the chicken 
crossed the road.

              Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now 
against it!  It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the 
chicken's intentions.  I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

            The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he 
must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after 
the problem on the other side of the road.  What we need to do is help him 
realize how stupid he is acting by not taking on his current problems before 
adding any new problems.

         Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why 
he wants to cross the road so badly.  So instead of having the chicken learn 
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give 
this chicken a NEW CAR so that he can just drive across the road and not live 
his life like the rest of the chickens.

                   We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have 
not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

               That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty!  You can see 
it in his eyes and the way he walks.

                  No one called me to warn me which way the chicken was going.  
I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price 
dropped to a certain level.  No little bird gave me any insider information.

                 Because the chicken was gay!  Can't you people see the plain 
truth?  That's why they call it the 'other side.'  Yes, my friends, that 
chicken was gay.  If you eat that chicken, you will become gay too.  I say we 
boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media 
whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.'  That 
chicken should not be crossing the road.  It's as plain and as simple as that.

           In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.  Somebody 
told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us

                   Isn't that interesting?  In a few moments, we will be 
listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of 
how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its 
lifelong dream of crossing the road.

               Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, 
in peace.

              I have just released e-Chicken 2015, which will not only cross 
roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents and balance your 
checkbook.  Internet Explorer is an integral part of e-Chicken 2015.  This new 
platform is much more stable and will never reboot.

                   Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move 
beneath the chicken?
