In Defense of Objective Reality

There is a blue chicken.

(Expert farmers have attested to it being blue).

Fifteen people say it is blue.

Twenty-one people say it is white.

Does that make the chicken white?

Most chicken are white, so I think it is white! Does that make me racist? A bigot? I'm not saying that a white chicken is better than a blue one, show me this blue chicken! Show me!! Does it still taste like chicken? Does it bleed red like white chicken? Great write reminds me of my recent lies and truth poem. Well done, you got a great mind!

Guess I got lost is a raging sea of exclamation marks. I apologize. I am more used to satire that whispers more than shouts.

I guess you never sensed my comment was satirical. I've seen blue chickens.
