Post #349,987 by lincoln 11/1/11 1:42:54 PM Reply	like the missing pallets of $100 bills lost over in Iraq under the Dubya (RepubliCANT) administration? "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

Post #350,008 by lincoln 11/1/11 8:36:00 PM Reply	Re: Come on Lincoln Yeah, one was done by a RepubliCANT administration and the other was done by a PRIVATE BUSINESS. After all, RepubliCANTS keep telling us that private enterprise ALWAYS does things better and cheaper than the government. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ...

Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Post #350,020 by crazy 11/2/11 6:31:58 AM Reply	No wire transfer They needed large bags of cash on the ground to buy some short term loyalty.
