I love the part about "The Golden Goose is on the loose, and never out of season" I'm pretty sure this is about how the american public were constantly told that the threat of a nuclear strike was an ever present possibility, the golden goose being this kind of unseen, almost mythical threat.
@quiffporn You obviously didn't grow up during the nuclear arms race, and I'm happy for you. But there was nothing "mythical" about the threat my generation grew up under, especially with war-mongering lunatics like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in power. (And on behalf of all of us, from all countries, who fought like hell to stop the insanity, you're welcome.)

@quiffporn the golden goose is the profit made form war. And war sure makes a lot of profit for the arms companies.
