[Magdalen] pondering politics

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Speaking of HH who did get the nomination.... I've read in many places that 
folks think this years conventions may be a reprise of Chicago in '68.... 
hard to 'see' what that would look like if the shoe was on the Republican 
foot this time...
VIVID memories of that spring and summer...

memorialized by Crosby/Stills/Nash in their song of the city's name:

"Chicago"


Though your brother's bound and gagged
 And they've chained him to a chair
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 Just to sing

 In a land that's known as freedom
 How can such a thing be fair
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 For the help that we can bring

 We can change the world
 Re-arrange the world
 It's dying ... to get better

 Politicians sit yourself down
 There's nothing for you here
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 For a ride

 Don't ask Jack to help you
 'Cause he'll turn the other ear
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 Or else join the other side

 We can change the world
 Re-arrange the world
 It's dying ... if you believe in justice
 It's dying ... and if you believe in freedom
 It's dying ... let a man live his own life
 It's dying ... rules and regulations, who needs them
 Open up the door

 Somehow people must be free
 I hope the day comes soon
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 Show your face

 From the bottom of the ocean
 To the mountains on the moon
 Won't you please come to Chicago
 No one else can take your place
