Just drawing squares would be better

Than this computer-assisted misery of a map.

In years past I was offended by the Wilmette Jr. High Social Studies teacher who assigned students to color and label a map. I thought that was pretty poor for their age. Maybe they did actually learn the location of states and countries, though, I don't know.

But I do know this--we'd be better off in the state of Illinois if I drew squares to make legislative districts.
