Indeed, I expect shootings and murders and social upheaval to increase as this nation continues to fail to recognize and obey its divine messenger. Those who would worship their political leaders and expect salvation by electing some party or another shall all be sorely disappointed. There is no remedy short of revitalization of human hearts - a process that requires a creative word from God.
Feel free to disagree with my assessment, but I am utterly certain that political spin will not redeem this nation. Don't let me stop you, though.
Your greed for more has distracted you until you go down to your graves. No, indeed you will soon know. Certainly you will soon know. Indeed, If you knew the knowledge of certainty you would see Hell, then you would surely see it with the eye of certainty. And on that Day you will be asked about the pleasures you enjoyed.
Qur'an 102 (Safi Kaskas translation)
Of course, this is merely an apropos scripture, not an endorsement of the institution. Modern day Islam is as astray as modern day Christianity.

Chicago has long been an exceptional example... anybody who's been there at night has stories. It has a tradition to maintain. They don't just commemorate Valentine's Day, they celebrate The St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Shootings are ubiquitous, like green rivers.
Before the musical "Chicago," there was Roxie Hart (1942) [imdb.com], which is a phenomenal and under-rated little movie, and which begins to explain Chicago. It also has an actor I've long appreciated (not admired, just appreciated).

Okay, some pedant will say it was story->musical->movie->musical->movie->breakfast cereal.
Just give Nunnally Johnson some credit for doing something wrong, right. It's like Along Came Jones (1945) [imdb.com], the wrong way to make a western.
