Some time ago, I came to the realization that I will likely never move back to my home state. I feel kind of like I'm watching an elderly relative die a slow death. I hope that the citizens of Illinois will snap out of their decline, but as long as the entire state is run as a suburb of Chicago, I doubt it will happen.

I'm not saying there's an organized conspiracy at work. Just a lot of self-interested, evil men who happen to have a similarity of goals and practices. They feed and feed off of each other, whipping the general populace into a frenzy over nonsensical things, maybe as a distraction. Gas prices? Who cares? Britney had a mole removed! In the words of a late, great Bill Hicks, they're tainting the collective unconscious and preventing us from evolving as thinking, spiritual entities. In other words, they're doing this bullshite on purpose.

After reading the article I'm alarmed that a State Representative who's district is facing so many serious problems is spending his time introducing such unnecessary legisltaion. It's not laughable, it's just plain irresponsible. Ken Dunkin should be more concerned with the children being killed on his streets and the state's buget crisis rather than the texting habbits of Chicago's walkers. What's he going to take on next, J walking?! -Dan Balanoff FLUNKIN DUNKIN!
