within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and

Plato: For the greater good.

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.

I prefer to see it as understanding but defiant, thank you

What if the road were a symbol for the government, and crossing it meant becoming a traitor. Would the car the ran you over be the secret police? The neighbors? Your ex?

[Austin Glau]

Actually the car is optimus prime, a transformer that will jump over the chicken so it can cross the road.
