As the printer of the C.L.U.C.K t-shirts, due to the graciousness of one of it's members, Neil Thompson, I'm glad I took time to read this article. The regulations against chicken keeping really don't make since. It all sounds kind of elitist in my estimation. All the while there are no regulations about the humane treatment of chickens and no checks on the grocery stores or restaurants that sell these poorly treated chickens. I did read however, in a brilliant essay by a friend that employees were locked in a chicken plant once to prevent them from stealing while the building was burning. It makes one think a lot about what is valued in life and what's not.

These stories are very inspirational and I hope they are told again and again. The message that a person can start from where they are and continue to live out their dreams is timeless. My personal belief is that inspiration comes from God. It 's not dissimilar to a "breath of life" moment. It's my hope that many people experience these moments relative to most of their life events. The new generation needs to hear these messages of hope. When psyches are bombarded with negative or short sided messages, it skews perspective.There is enough for people to deal with without this added baggage.
