Well Cowboy, today I walked outside for lunch and was greeted with the ravings of an angry civic-minded man with a megaphone. "The state is broke they say! The city is broke, they persist!" he cried. "How can that be? Our firefighters have been without a contract for years! Our police officers are working without a contract! Now they're going to build a casino within the city limits, which will force even more police and more firefighter to deal with the resulting suicides! All this, and now our nation's leaders are looking to renig on its promise of social security!"
Within moments the speaker's minions had alit on the sidewalks around me. They tossed propaganda and held out their arms in desperate supplication. The headlines read: "Social Security Fight: Defend FDR Legacy From Bush and Wall Street" and "Foot in the Door for Fascism." Within the articles were words like "lie" and "deceit" made conspicuous by bolded text.
Such was my first taste of the LaRouche phenomenon in Chicago.
