Sorry - didn't meant to come off as aggressive or combative.. There's just a surprising amount of hostility from those who like Rahm or think Rahm is a built-in in Chicago. "Why don't you just move?" and calling me unpatriotic were pretty interesting to hear.

The idealist in me thinks those behaviors can be fixed even though it's "turtles all the way down". Though, if enough people do enough tenaciously peaceful civics work, then hopefully things will get slightly better. By treating everything as a mystery as [0] and [1] talk about, things become manageable.
