This country has been voting honest people into office for years. It doesn't matter how you vote when the whole thing is rigged anyway! Rigged by whom? WE the people vote the clowns into office. The clowns then want to stay there, and they do so by following the wishes of the voters. If we vote single-issue politics, or to bring home the pork, and write letters in support of these types of things, we will get what we deserve. If, on the other hand, the voters mature and vote for self- sufficiency, freedom instead of dependence on government, and other such goody-two-shoes sentiments, that is exactly what we will get. Supposedly rigged elections, for which Chicago has been famous for many years, only have an effect on marginal situations. There's no way a party can rig an election against an overwhelming tide of angry voters. |

After they tore up the field, they didn't have any money to develop the park. This is government vandalism in its starkest form.

It's SOUTH of the north-south dividing line of the city. vince norris My compliments to the photographer, a nice view of the $billions in condos able to confidently be developed without fear of a wayward aviator mistaking the street lights of Columbus, Mich., or LSD for airport landing beacons and doing a Junior 9/111 kamikazi mission.

Northerly Island was to be the northernmost of a five island chain between Jackson Park and 12th Street. You could say it's a lie because it isn't an island, it's a peninsula. |
