FAA approves O'Hare expansion plan
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/09/30....ap/index.html
"The plan drew intense criticism from some, largely because the 440-acre expansion requires the city to buy and raze more than 500 homes, displacing about 2,600 residents, and move nearly 200 businesses and a cemetery with 1,300 tombs dating back to the 1800s. Mayor Richard M. Daley has long pushed to expand O'Hare, saying it would speed up air travel throughout the United States. A cost-benefit analysis by the city projected that the project would save more than $12 billion over nearly two decades by reducing passenger and aircraft delays. Critics say the city has exaggerated the project's benefits and underestimated its cost. In July, the Transportation Department also said the cost estimate was low." |

In light of what he's done with/to airports in Chicago, it's safe to say that Daley is clearly a paranoid schizophrenic. You need to look both those terms up. He is clearly neither.

that Daley is clearly a paranoid schizophrenic. You need to look both those terms up. He is clearly neither. You don't think that a guy who believes that he needs a permanent ADIZ around Chicago isn't paranoid? You don't think that a guy who both bulldozes *and* expands airports is schizophrenic? You need to find another dictionary. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You don't think that a guy who believes that he needs a permanent ADIZ around Chicago isn't paranoid? Paranoia is defined as an unreasonable fear of persecution, usually because of an unjustifiably high estimate of his own importance. Daley has exhibited neither. You don't think that a guy who both bulldozes *and* expands airports is schizophrenic? Schizophrenia is an inability to deal with the real world. The most common symptom is withdrawal, but that's not usually how a paranoid schizophrenic reacts. Paranoid Schizophrenics usually exhibit unfocussed anxiety, anger, argumentativeness, and violence. Often a stilted, formal quality or extreme intensity in interpersonal interaction is noted. Daley does none of this. Daley has given plenty of evidence that he can deal with the world just fine. If anything, it is the world that has problems dealing with Daley. You need to find another dictionary. You need to buy your first one. Or perhaps learn to read it. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

If they ever lose the platform that gets carried around so he can see over the podium he will be powerless. |

The project was shut down a couple of hours after it was begun when surrounding communities took their concerns to federal court. They have managed to kill 4 previous expansion projects and are going for number 5. |

I am absolutely astonished over the pricetag for this expansion. There has to be a better way for the City of Chicago to spend $15B. Having said that - as a Chicago area resident - I would love to see a Western vehicle/passenger entrance to the airport, and more gates. Nearly every delay I encounter at ORD is related to lack of gates, and planes getting sent to the penalty box as a result. |

How they will get you to the east side I don't know. |

Well, maybe "paranoid schizophrenic" is a bit strong but certainly he is
drunk with power and on the make. "George Patterson" wrote in message news:WDm%e.370$Wb3.186@trndny04...
