what a bunch of neg-boys
incrementalism is how we got here. things didn't get bad overnight. illinois isn't suddenly going to be perfect overnight.
it's a little better and you have an easier path to make it better. stop whining. take the deal.
and think about the long game. try to make it a little better each year. maybe knock a few places off the no carry list next year. don't try to do too much at once.
This is true but when you look at the areas you can't carry what first comes to mind is where can I carry??
