I agree. The situation in Chile when Allende was in power provides a rough but appropriate analog to the present circumstances in the U.S. If Krauthammer is right, I can see myself edging ever so steadily, and by increasingly bigger steps, toward supporting a movement for secession, revolution, civil war. But I live in Cook County (with Chicago) and I’m conditioned to be paranoid about government. It’s said that nothing lasts forever, but Democratic rule of Illinois in general and Chicago in particular may come darn close.
