I know Rocky will get a kick out of this.
In 2008 Californians voted in an initiative that required chickens to not be kept in tiny pens - I think they are now required to be able to go outside. Anyway, the chicken farmers are up in arms, threatening to go elsewhere, etc. Coming out of this is a new innitiative that some are gathering signatures for. Check the link. It's yet another scheme to split the state. But this time it's the liberal part and the conservative part, for the most part. Funny thing is, I'm in the conservative part and Rocky is in the liberal part (the Cindy Sheehan part  ). It'll never pass.
