Am I on the right page when I am angered by the ideas that are NOT being incorporated into the city's policy, government? THIS GUY IS CONSIDERED THE CEO of Chicago Public Schools? I have a long way to go before I attempt to comprehend political relationships, and democratic relationships that are made FOR us because of our ( you and I and Us) supposed choices .  Lovin the tension in this idea of  an engaged democratic culture, but forgive my articulation please when I attempt to present this point:
I think that, as a Canadian and an American citizen, I understand the dangers of Unions. In Canada, unions unilaterally have the potential to  usurp the respective companies in which they operate  and render them bankrupt.  I speak in terms of my experience as both a daughter of chemical engineers, and as a former employee at a pulp and paper mill in Toronto, Ontario.
And yet....when we consider that the American economy is supposedly in shambles;

( i. e. I saw a sign in the Walmart in OP that advertised "recession blowout" at the barber shop...DOOMS DAY IS COMING GET URE HAIRCUT)
Let us consider the implications of Teachers Unions to attempt the applications of some social pressure on the uncontested aspects of Chicago Mayoral power, so as to integrate Humans into the realm of Politics.
What I really mean is:
 Let us, please, consider the fact that Rahm Emmanuel is a crook and he doesn't answer any questions effectively, any questions, even when the purpose of the question is to elicit a response from the MAYOR that sounds authentically HUMAN. By mayoral I mean democratic, clued in, the guy that the citizens of Chicago thought was the best guy for the job. The guy that "hated the look....THAT look  in children's eye's when they were walking to school, that look," that was completely unspecified and annoying and invited me to see the vapid nature of his arguments during his run for mayor via his Television campaign. 
Gosh, I sound Preachy, but I am one- hundred-and- plus percent sure that UNIONS, effective and locally organized unions ( a significant (and historically relevant and necessary) achievement in a city of ...9? MILLION people)  are not the problem when it comes to , well, anything really. Thanks for this blog. Pretty sure I am rambling. Over and out. Any thoughts? I need help with the clarity of this statement.
