The people of Illinois are unfree? (Chicago: violent crime, neighborhoods, tax)

'ole Scar' there has some really blue eyes ... heh.

As far as the gun thing is concerned, it is a cultural thing I know that I'll probably never understand (I don't come from a gun owning family). But as has been explained, certain types of guns are perfectly legal in Chicago to keep, so go for it (I've never really cared either way as long as I don't find myself on the wrong end of one).

This is precious. This alone proves that you haven't spent much time in Chicago since, hmmm, maybe January of 2008?

Also, I don't recall Houston having all that much lower of a crime rate than Chicago.

I cant tolerate smokers that whine about thier rights either. Go smoke your cancer stick in your Ashtray you call your home. The rest of us dont want your nastiness.

Well John Ford hired Henry Brandon, German born, for the part because he projected menace so well. Brandon was well known in Hollywood for his open gayness; Ford befriended many Gays, Indians and Blacks and one wag said that Ford had too many pet peeves to have much concern for the conventional prejudices.

Note though that the blue eyes may not be too far out of bounds--Quanah Parker (pictured below) the last of the great hostile Comanche leaders and an effective and forward thinking post conquest leader was the son of Peta Noconah and a captive Texian woman, Cynthia Ann Parker.

Brandon played Quanah Parker in a later Ford picture, "Two Rode Together".

Seriously, you're 19 and have a CPS or Proviso East diploma? You need something more. At least learn a trade or something. You seem like you're probably smart enough.
