Unlike California,
Chicago is not financially bankrupt......yet.


So? Recall does not have to be linked to finances. He's an idiot, get
him outta there.

No, just morally. To threaten somebody's life over a baseball game (and
Chicago would have lost it anyway) is not something that cizilized people
do. Of course everytime the Bulls win a game, people riot, and when they
lose a game, people riot, so as Jay says, not the best and the brightest....

Look, here's the bottom line: In ANY other city, in ANY other state, a guy
who sent bulldozers to rip up public property -- in the MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT -- would have been arrested.

He would then have been put under medical observation, to ascertain his
sanity.

Why is it just "business as usual" in Chicago?

If that were true, then most public renovation projects would result in the
arrest of the presiding public officials (and of the bulldozer operators
themselves--if they were not acting on someone's lawful authority, then they
too were committing a crime). You usually have to bulldoze what's there in
order to build something else. Often there are people who preferred to keep
what was already there.

Daley decided to renovate a piece of public land whose usage was under his
administrative authority as an elected public official. There are sound
objections to the decision and to his implementation, but the idea that he
committed a crime (such as vandalism) is sheer fantasy.

The Atlantic City mayor didn't get arrested either.

To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having too much
could prove embarassing, but having too little is always fatal.

as a Chicagoian and a pilot you have it all wrong. NONE of the citizens, or
pilots in this town wanted to lose Meigs. It was ONLY our mayor. So why
condemn us and root for our Cubs to lose, punishing the citizens?


Because you Chicago morons refuse to rise up and throw the crook/terrorist out
of office . . . what other ways are there to show your dictator the contempt he
deserves?

You're an idiot.

Daley's constituency is made up not of pilots, but of people that want
handouts, and people for whom his "machine" does favors. Pilots in Chicago
have no say because for every one of us, there are 25,000 of them. And
whenever its convenient, Daley plays the "class warfare" game like a good
Democrat does, taking full advantage of the very ignorant in order to stay
in power.

That's the "Chicago" way and one reason why this place has its reputation.
