Chicago, Least Free US City

Friend John Ruberry takes note of a recent article in Reason Magazine that ranks 35 US cities in regards to personal freedom. Most freedoms: Las Vegas. Least freedoms: Chicago. "There are tons of nit-picky laws in Barack Obama's hometown - although the widely ridiculed ban on foie gras was repealed," notes John. He goes on about the ever-increasing number of police cameras, too. "Perhaps the people who live and work near these boxes feel safer, but to me, it's a heads-up call that I've entered a high crime area. Roll up the windows and lock the doors." Indeed, and CPD Supt. Jody Weis just loves the cameras and recently told the City Council that he wants more - but the kind you cannot see. You can read John's entire post at Marathon Pundit... So, John, we'll just have to keep the windows up and doors locked at all times. Of course, as soon as the City of Chicago's unconstitutional handgun ban is thrown out, you can carry one of those in the glove box.
