Rabbits and headlights seems to describe many reactions, and not just in government.
There is a great deal of condemnation of the actions and inactions of the present government, but running around like headless chickens blaming each other for letting the sky fall doesn't put a roof on the chicken run. Whether the chickens are scratching for worms in Farmer Jones' field or Mrs Smith's orchard, they will need shelter from the storms to come, and that means all the chickens, not just the ones with few feathers and pecked bums. The ones who are still trying hard to keep egg production going need a bit of support too. Is there a blueprint for the new coop where they can lay their eggs for Farmer Jones to collect and sell?
If there isn't, shouldn't the chickens spend some of their time considering just what kind of coop would be best and trying to get that built, and a bit less time bewailing the wanton destruction of the old one?
