Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

But how will we separate out the good from the bad if not by the ability to cough up cash on demand?

You joke, but half the country thinks this exact way. Despite most of them being poor.
