It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

KARL MARX:
It was an historical inevitability.

Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?"
