Daley Killing Indie Club Scene in Chicago (Normal: work, art)

I don't care one fig about the supposed political connections some posters on an Internet talkboard claim.

Are you Drover's alter ego or do you just wash his feet and kiss his buttocks? I really do not care what you believe or do not. Your thin veiled swipe was uncalled for.

I applaud you for writing a letter to your Alderman however. Maybe you should send the same letter to Daley and Schulter also? I am curious at what their responses will be,that is if they ever respond at all.

What I meant was if a persons Alderman is Schulter... (not you) I very well knew who your Alderman when I posted. I mean I do know where you live so it should not be a suprise that I would know your Alderman is. I was directing the post to people in general that do not live in Schulter's ward.Perhaps I was not clear enough.

I can name names to bite your head off; I've been places and chaired boards to make whatever claim you think you have seem as sad as they probably are. I don't because-- get this-- people don't care. At all. They don't care how much money you have or where you live, the people you know or the committees you've been on.

What they do care about is real truth. So state your so-called knowledge or stop asking us to accept the validity of your half-baked theories "because I said so".

With that said, the continual craziness of Chicago never ceases to amaze me. Does anyone else wish these old people would just die already?

Every person on this forum claims truths because they said so. More often than not it is people other than myself. You expect me to reveal all of my personal contacts in detail? That will never happen.

Everyone has their own opinion and I stated mine. End of discussion.

BTW-My question was not specifically intended towards you. It was in direct response to 60-minutes-II.

Maybe everyone here should be challenged to reveal their sources and their life story. That will never happen and is not safe. We like to spar back and forth with things, but I never would expect anyone here to put themself in danger in any way nor should anyone expect me to cite real life sources and put myself in possible danger or a tight spot.

Explain what sources you have that others dont and why we should listen to you? Normally people who say they know things others dont means you are nothing but a snob. Who thinks just because you read the same article as thousands of others have that somehow just makes you more knowing of the way things work. It doesn't and more than likely you are some lonely internet guy or girl who knows nothing and no one of the Daley machine.

For the record, I have no political clout whatsoever. Nada, zero, zilch. So don't come to me asking for favors, I'm that person 'nobody sent'.
