I don't think I'm better than someone who chooses to move out of Illinois nor do I think I am somehow stupid for staying. If someone would rather move out of state rather than stay and fight to change the laws here - well good for them - seems like a pretty rational decision to me. Heck, I would probably move too - except for two reasons - one just turned 14 and the other will be 10 - my visitation rights end if I move more than 60 miles away from my kids and besides being with them and around them is one of the top priorities in my life. Maybe down the road when they are grown I will move to a state like AZ or AK but in the mean time I will continue the fight I have been fighting for the last 20 odd years.
Edit to add: in my youth I worked in Chicago and have been there to visit many times - it is a beautiful city - and would be a great place if you could get rid of all the politicians and idiotic laws.
