Did you know that it is estimated that there are 60,000 to 90,000 gang members in Chicago alone! They could take control of the city with they were organized and motivated.

Yeah, and I am sure they already have all the firearms a girl could want!

"Did you know that it is estimated that there are 60,000 to 90,000 gang members in Chicago alone! They could take control of the city with they were organized and motivated."

Your estimate is low. I've heard that the number is closer to 250,000, but that includes all gangs, even the splinters. The greatest threat we here in Northern Illinois face is from the so-called "latin" gangbangers, primarily the Mexican and Salvadoran ones, and there are a LOT of them. The town of Cicero has all but become a Mexican state unto itself; it is virtually all Mexican, and it bears little resemblance to an American town. If you hear English spoken in Cicero you're hearing an American who took a wrong turn and is pleading for his life.

Lock up your goats, Sweetie!!

Looking at the list,,, makes me think I-80 would be a good route from Denver to Illinois. Iowa City is on I-80,, and a more liberal town you'll not find; any type of nontraditional behavior is acceptable there.

Just for good measure, I think I'll lock up my Sheep!!
