8. Because you have entitled your essay Allegory of the Chickens

I see us as the chickens in your allegory and George Bush as the Chicken Keeper who wants to keep the chickens locked away from danger, i.e. truth.. the danger of the predators to the chickens, I read as the danger of the terrorists to us and the basic philosophical question posed I read as "will we let fear dominate our lives, or will be able to not be ruled by fear and live with liberty knowing that there dangers out there but that we cannot become the slaves of fear.

Now, did I read too much into your allegory, or basically was I on track?
