Meigs Curse: Year #1.

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.

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?

Why not? They blame their current curse on an incident with a goat in 1943.
What happened from 1908 to 1943?

The last time I was there, almost every citizen I talked to said they
had "no problem with what Daley did" to Meigs.

That was probably the last time I'll go to Chicago.

You get the kind of government you permit.
Live with it. You spend your money there? Pay your taxes there? And you're
calling me an idiot? G

LOL . . . nothing personal, Dave . . . please consider my arguments academic.
And don't think I am unaware of the blatent corruption that goes on in local
governments everywhere by *both* parties.
Down-zoning, re-districting, variances for influential builders . . . we're
buried in it right here.

Lockport, Palwaukee, etc.

In the city itself, you mean for every Chicagoan who is a pilot there are
250,000 non-pilot citizens?

Besides the betrayal of Meigs, does everyone know about the "Rape of CVS"? CVS
is Chicago Vocational School. This was a public high school in the city where
aviation was also taught. In WW2, the Navy provided aircraft for training.(As
far as I've benn told, Dauntlesses, Devastators, Avengers, etc.) As late as
1974, the USAF supplied two T-33 aircraft for training. Since that time the
aviation program went derilict and the hangers on the school property were left
in disarray. Last summer, the last of the aircraft, parts and aviation tools
were removed. All that is left are the large double bay wood-roofed hangers on
school property. From the outside, you can see the two gantrys that the Navy
installed in WW2 for engine removal and run-ups. No one in Chicago cared about
this vocational training facility and let it completely run down. This
includes Jesse, Richie and all their henchmen. Thus Chicago has lost one more
aviation asset in a string of long losses.

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....

Nuff said...........(the threats came from suburbanites, anyway.)

Some of that WWII Navy training equipment that was at CVS did end up in a
museum. Thank goodness it is quite a ways outside of chicago.
