Well, I don't want to be voted out of the union. Don't judge the citizens because we have a smaller scale of our US Govt. within the state of Illinois...
You know the slogan, "Too big too fail"
Well we have one here in Illinois "To effffed to fix"
The citizens voted that system in. Who else DO we blame?
Same as in America. When I look around and see it screwed up, i blame everyone who voted for a D or an R in the last 30 years. That is who I blame.

Can the rest of the US just vote Illinois out of the union?
If there is a law that can be made to raise revenue focusing on irrelevant and unneccessary BS, you will find Illinios, NY, and California fighting over who gets to enact it first.
What happened to real American values? If you don't like someone flicking out their butts, then tell them. Punch them in the nose if need be. But this pansy assed, passive aggressive nonsense of passing laws has got to be the most embarrassing aspect of modern civilization.
Grow some balls America. Talk to each other. And quit writing goddamned laws.edit on 9-12-2013 by bigfatfurrytexan because: (no reason given)

Now that is just silly...
It's too Hard to light an apple on fire and then toss it out of a moving car for it to be added to the list. We should punch it instead like good American values dictate and make it into pie.

Do you think this could fall under the 8th amendment for "Cruel and Unusual Punishment"?
I'm a few credits shy of my law degree so I don't know if this could fall under that, but I'm sure the first person charged with a felony for cigarette butts will likely appeal it all the way up to the Illinois Supreme Court...

You know.. I got to thinking about this a bit. It's not like they are really going to be out busting Jon Q and getting excited to see it's his 4th pop for a felony. That's not realistic, even in Illinois. They do have some real work to do, I'm sure.
So..I got to thinking..When would this absurd thing be used...WHY write it in? Then it hit me, given some past experiences in life..
Let's say you're a Chicago cop during something like the NATO Summit and those Occupy people just piss you off. Well... 1 ciggie...(ticket and a smile)... 2 ciggie (bigger ticket..bigger smile) ..(Occupy is wondering what the smiles are about by now).. 3rd ciggie tossed over a matter of days.. Well, now the cops act like they're about to inherit the Hughes fortune or something...
...4th ciggie to get tossed by the Occupy protester they picked to be the first example? 'Welcome to Cook County, Mr. Inmate! You've just won...don't throw that butt!...here, let me help you with the shiny new bracelets you didn't even know you were earning'.
Oh yeah.. I can see how the extremes of this could be wickedly useful to some departments and units where "proper" ...is what other people do.

Woke up on the wrong side of the tire swing today?
I was just ribbing you earlier...it is a shame we have to pass laws, but I am afraid that is due to de-evolution of independent thought brought to you by the advertising companies who found that simple minds are easily swayed into believing the absurd as long as they are reassured they are "right".
Ah...too early for deep thoughts...and too sober.

It really does suck and is extremely frustrating.. My county is primarily republican, well, the majority around chicago is... I remember when the first election for Obama was happening in my state I overheard numerous minorities state that they were voting for Obama because he was black. Not because of policy or anything like that......sigh...
Voter cards should be revoked if you don't understand what you're voting for... Just my two cents
