Good Morning! Inauguration Day has finally arrived. Woke before 4:00 am and dressed for the cold! Breakfast was at 4:15 and then off we went. I, along with all of the other students, loaded on the buses to head downtown! I feel so honored to be able to witness history as President Obama and Vice President Biden take their oaths of office. Once at the Air and Space Museum, we will walk to National Mall. Stay tuned, there is more to come....

RB, You do not understand Heller or McDonald or the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court never said…Read More we can't carry an RPG either! Wilson has been going on for over 6 years, but it will strike down Cook Counties infringement and we will once again...collect Millions in Legal fees.
RB June 19, 2013 at 09:54 pm
RPG was used as an example of limitations.
To quote from the majority opinion in…Read More Heller...."Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose"
Dan Cox June 19, 2013 at 10:11 pm
RB Yet, the Supreme Court has not deemed what that limitation is, because the writters of the Second…Read More Amendment, wrote it for the protection of the citizens, against a Tyrannical Government. If we want to really get to the heart of the matter, there is no limitation as to "WHAT" we may Bear, depending on the "purpose." Now if you wish to fall back on the Militia arguement... Illinois State Constitution, Article12, Militia..."Every resident of the State of Illinois, is a Member of the Illinois State Militia." Secondly, the Bill of Right's is for the citizens, not members of the Military, like the Army National Guard, obviously.

There is nothing historical about this house. The historical house was torn down in order to build…Read More a modern house which vaguely resembles the home that was owned by Lyman Wilmot. But calling this new construction "an important part of the history of Deerfield" is a travesty.

Mara, So sorry you feel this way. We feel that this really improves the neighborhood. Tried to…Read More keep much of old structure, but Igor's rehab and lack of upkeep, made it impossible. couldn't even keep floors, all warped from water and walls full of mold. City did nothing to stop Igor from combining two distinct properties. I am having a champagne lunch Wed. June 19, 11:30 to 1:30. Would love for you to come and see the house. Maybe that will change your mind.

Annette - my first statement was "beautiful house" so I have no qualms with your outcome -…Read More however, this is a re-do, re-creation not the original house. But good luck! I am sure you will find a buyer quickly!
