Chicken Little: a new project by Martin Gantman
“One day while Chicken Little was out walking, up in the sky a bird flew over and it dropped an acorn, and the acorn fell down and– bip– bopped him on his head. Chicken Little said “AWK! ” and looked up, and didn’t see anything, and he looked down and didn’t see anything. So he said “Help, help the sky is falling! Help, help the sky is falling! I have to tell the King!” And he went running down the road, looking for the King.”

The talk was of reason and logic and the unheard-of thought of an individual’s right to authority over their own being.
How could there possibly be a consummate culture when only a minuscule portion of the extant population was able to fully participate? Thus, flushed by the inexorable tide of new scientific discovery and secular thought, the struggle for an equitable and educated society, what some might characterize as the criteria for a civilization, had begun.
