Unfree in Illinois | Steve Chapman

and there is a link in that blog and this is what it says about illinois:

Illinois is one of the worst states to live in from
a personal freedom perspective (#49). On economic
freedom it is in the middle of the pack (#29). Illinois
has the fourth harshest gun control laws in the country,
after California, Maryland, and New York, and
the state’s victimless crimes arrest rates are almost
unfathomable: In 2006, more than 2 percent of the
state’s population was arrested for a victimless crime
(and that figure does not count under-18s). Nearly
one-third of all arrests were for victimless crimes.
On the plus side, Illinois’ home school regulations
were effectively as minimal as Idaho’s. As of the end
of 2006, smoking bans had not made much headway

The craziest thing about Chicago is the 10.25 sales tax. Ouch.

Damn, I guess I need to give my dad the uzi and .45 back.

I don't feel like my freedoms are limited here. On the contrary, I actually feel more liberated here. In Shreveport, LA where I grew up, everything was so small and backward that your future there was very limited. Here, though, I don't feel like there is anything (legal) that I wouldn't have the opportunity to do. Chicago is enabling.
