    At least here, in Illinois, we periodically arrest our politicians, to keep things fresh

      I love to play a game with myself when I read about a (us) politician getting a corruption charge: “Is it from Chicago or Not Chicago?”

      Usually it’s Chicago.

      I like to think it’s possible to have a world where politicians don’t need arresting. I think there was a small slice of time where this was the case in human history, before the village leader decided nobody could own a club or spear or sharp thingy with a size over 75% the size of his.
