THE RED SATURN

I was carrying my camera the other day, as usual, and found this curiosity.


Certainly, the owner had insurance? It's still required in Illinois, right?


Wonder what he/she did with the money? Spent it on tape?


It was apparent that this vehicle, a newer model, has been damaged for quite awhile. It was in the parking lot behind the assisted living facility at Sheridan Road and Sherwin Avenue.

Its condition does neither says a lot for the owner, nor does it say a lot for how automobiles are built. Lots and lots of fibreglas here, and plastic bumpers, doomed to destruction in even the slightest fender-bender. Would that be because so much steel is required for manufacturing something like this:

And, unfortunately, repair and replacement costs a mountain of money. Insurance should cover that, but this driver seems to prefer the "bashed in" look, at least for now.

Or, perhaps he/she spent the bucks on a new HDTV (High Definition Tele Vision), which you'll need, come, January, when television broadcasting standards change. Some trade-out, huh?

The Rogers Park gun debate


Gun violence

Gun violence is the broadly defined category of violence and crime committed with the use of a firearm; it does not include the safe lawful use of firearms for sport, hunting, target practice, law enforcement, or self-defense.[1] Gun violence encompasses intentional crime characterized as homicide (although not all homicide is automatically a crime) and assault with a deadly weapon, as well as unintentional injury and death resulting from the misuse of firearms, particularly by children and adolescents.[2]

The United States has the highest rates among developed countries, often accounted to the loose firearm laws in the U.S. compared to other developed countries[4].
