Every Picture Tells A Story :: 12/11/2012
This was originally posted on October 6, 2011. In honor of the 7th Circuit's ruling in Shepard v. Madigan and Moore v. Madigan, I thought it would be useful to repost it.

Now it is up to the citizens of Illinois and their elected representatives as to whether or not they move to the yellow zone or the green zone. Here's hoping for the green zone.
