Reason Magazine(blog post about it here) says Chicago is the worst city in the country as far as nanny-statism goes. So why does everyone I know either live there or want to live there?

haha, joey, you libertarian piece of shit. chicago put a tax on bottled water because wasteful buttfucks were buying all this bottled water instead of drinking from the tap, and then they weren't recycling the bottles! it's about the environment.

since moving to chicago i have bought so much liquor with my credit card (a luxury ohio will never afford you) and participated in waaaaaaaaay more baby killing than you can even imagine.

i dunno, i guess if you think caring about the environment is paternalism from the government, then we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. but if you consider paternalism to be things like "sex will kill you!" and "drinking should never be done except on sundays at church when it's the blood of christ" then i don't think chicago is really as bad as whatever the shit that article was making it out to be.

also, i'm drunk.

also, also, we have so many more planned parenthoods than you would even guess.

also, also, also, ask me about the pink card.

I guess carrying a handgun isn't high on my list of priorities. Plus, I'd rip plastic water bottles out of the hands of every person I observed using them regardless of my location. Chicago takes care of it for me.

Plus, I am in an MPA program: we actually think government is meant to serve its citizens. God forbid we ask people to pay taxes to fund those services. It's not like the mayor is forcing hipsters to wear armbands identifying them as such in public. Lets get some perspective, shall we?

You Libertarians remind me of my dad: yelling about things no one else really cares about. But, that being said, I can appreciate your enthusiasm. Go team!
