Easy Eddie

Com'on Steven, We're at war. Morality plays with patriotic themes and
positive outcomes are lacking and much needed. This isn't the place for
facts and truth - just the story (cue fanfare)

This glurge completely jumps the tracks, however, in trying to turn the
story of Eddie and Butch O'Hare into a tale of redemption, a little morality
play to demonstrates the importance of recognizing the errors of one's ways,
of atoning for one's misdeeds, of trying to do right and prevent one's sins
from being visited on future generations. Those are all valuable lessons,
but they have precious little to do with this story.

Was the elder O'Hare "able to pass the value of integrity on to his
son"? If
his actions illustrated anything, it was just the opposite of integrity: if
you're clever enough and sufficiently lacking in moral values you can live a
life of wealth and privilege by victimizing others, and if your gravy train
should ever derail you can adopt an "every man for himself" attitude and
save your own skin by ratting on your associates.

Butch O'Hare was suitably honored when the Chicago airport known as Orchard
Depot was renamed O'Hare International in 1949. It's unfortunate that he and
the airport have to share the O'Hare name with his unscrupulous father.
