Chicago is known for good steaks, expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately, the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics, violent crime, and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.
Taking privacy cues from the federal government is - to say the least - ironic, considering today's Orwellian level of surveillance. At virtually any given time outside of one's own home, an American citizen can reasonably assume his movements and actions are being monitored by something, by somebody, somewhere.
The Constitution never even mentions political parties, let alone the Republican and Democratic parties, yet all the election laws help to protect them from competition.
Looking down the road, space exploration and the benefits it yields - in medicine and information technology - should not be overlooked.
History has shown that Big Government expands quickest in the immediate aftermath of a crisis - real or manufactured.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges.
