Acting the Goat

I haven't read the detail of the proposed Bill on the redefinition of the family being peddled by the worst Government since Cromwell held sway ,more of which anon.
I am old enough to remember the repressive times in this country when Fine Gael and Labour held power under Garrett Fitzgerald as Taoiseach.
And I well remember the plethora of referenda promulgated by that Government to divert attention from the misery under which the populace laboured and to also divert real attention from the civil war being waged across the border and disguise the pro Brit. and anti Nationalist hue of that government.
I also remember the despairing spin promulgated to gloss over the massive emigration figures and the sneering at all things rural.
Much the same as today in all respects.
Except that the present day's agenda is additionally being skewered by the overbearing homosexual slants being pushed by certain parties and individuals and the anti nationalist and anti Catholic agendas being pushed by certain graduates of Trinity College ,who clearly drank copious amounts of the Soup during their stay there.
Anyhow it is often the case that a lamb born to a ewe which has no milk is fostered to a goat that has no kids but has milk and the goat happily rears the lamb.
Now we have four parties here ,the sheep ram and father,the ewe mother and the goat in loco parentis.and of course the lamb.
And there may be a fifth party, the goats husband the buck goat.
Now the lamb may have thousands of siblings ,depending on the libido of her ram father or on whether she was conceived by artificial insemination or even cloned.
The same with the goat and so and so forth.
And of course the buck goat being a buck goat may mount the lamb and breed on from her,further complicating the matter and the ram sheep might mount the lamb,thinking that because the she goat is ardently the mother of the lamb and she is not related.
You can see that the number of combinations possible are limitless.
And of course there is the additional possibility that the buck goat may hit it off with the ram sheep and set up pasture and realising that their life is incomplete without a lamb/goat of their own, procure a fertilised ovum from a source specialising in this area and hire a sheep or she goat to bring it to fruition.
And of course there is always the possibility that the ewe sheep may hit it off with the she goat and also procure a fertilised ovum and have it implanted and so on and so forth.
Yep I have absolute faith in this Government to redefine the settled meaning of family,not.
