Chicago: Beautiful American City...

Folk #1: "Chicago is a big city. It is a fabulous American City. The extended boundaries of "Chicagoland," 9.4 million people strong, makes for a sprawling, lively, fantastic, cheerfully overflowing melting pot of humanity. Sure, there are some hard streets, when it comes to human beings, there is always beauty & ugliness, it's just the reality of humanity & of life. You get a little taste of everything, the beauty & glory and the darkness & shame too. That's ok. That's life. These fucking idiots in D.C. lying about our beautiful City are just out to fan the flames. Seems they are cooking up some devious plot; a lawless, authoritarian, fever dream. So un-American. We do not need troops here. Anyone pushing that idea is bad-intentioned, sick, & deluded. Come on, America, we can do so much better."
