Overtaxed, first, move out of Illinois; you’ve obviously had your fill. Second, find an anger management group. Don’t bother with the second if you don’t do the first because Illinois has more than enough to keep you mad indefinitely. I’ve been here, mostly against my better wishes, for about sixty years. I keep sane by telling myself, “I’m actually from New York.” Which tells you how bad Illinois is .
Every generation looks piously down on the previous. That is the one constant of humanity. Looked at coldly, this generation is no different from the previous, nor previous to that, nor previous to that, etc ad nauseum. What has happened, though, is 1) the news has become more lurid and more pervasive and 2) whining ploggers have a public forum to complain about the ones they look down on: like I’m doing in this post.

What do you think conservatives do? Perhaps the guy who shot his daughters laptop is a role model?
