"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

(did he fire eight syllables, or only seven...in all this excitement...I've kind of lost track myself) Feeling lucky. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

If it's a Democrat talking about Obama, then he's a community organizer; if it's a Republican talking about Obama, then he's a community activist (with all of the negative connotation that they can assume in that label).

Post #326,149 by lincoln 5/13/10 1:08:56 PM Reply	"now" ??? It's been a Republican conspiracy since early 2008. Have you been asleep since then? "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ...

Don't recall them calling him a community activist. If so, my bad...or to answer the question...Yes I have been sleeping since then. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.
