the White House is only dignified by whos residing in it each term...sometimes its not so dignified..IMO....also, chickens wont change that one bit...and also...having chickens isnt un-dignified...again...its only my opinion...

I completely agree. Although the actual house is a National Treasure and it should be held with some sort of respect (insert "stuffiness") for just being what it is.
That is all I was considering being dignified.... just the building itself.

I was addressing the statment about taking the "stuffiness" out of the White House. I didn't mean that having chickens is "un-dignified"! I have 'em!

However, everything has it's place (IMO).

Sure, i hear you. The White House gets my respect...as does my whole country in general. What i meant was...some presidents are a joke... but..thats for another forum....i dont want to get this thread closed...so, i'll leave my personal opinions of certain presidents to myself...

Yes, it is a monument but it's also someones home. A couple old heritage breeds wandering the lawn would look majestic. They could have fresh eggs in the kitchen and meat on the table...what a great way to support us homesteaders.

I think there is a thread some where about this subject. It goes along with the big garden that they are having put in. I think its a wonderful idea. To me it helps promote some self sufficiency and good health. It would be nice to see this have an impact on showing how important our farms are.
