You don't really believe that Chicago taxpayers will pay a dime for the Olympics, do you? Perhaps you didn't notice that Michelle Obama is leading the charge to get the olympics for her beloved town. You can bet there will be lots of stimulus monty flowing to IL to pay for the new infrastructure. It may be hidden money, but it will be there. The Obamas will bring home the bacon--you can count on it.

That's a joke. Olympics is about sports and love of country. Best representatives would be former Cub, Ernie Banks or former Bull, Michael Jordan or former Bear, Mike Ditka or current White Soxer, AJ Pierzinski, of last Chicago World Series. Maybe Chicago can deploy many hundreds of photo radar, red light cameras to pay for Olympics infrastructure.

Good job! I love how smoothly you blended that photo radar comment in to keep it on topic! While sports personalities might help win the olympics for Chicago, Michelle will make sure the US taxpayers subsidize the whole thing (and leave behind lots of cool new office space for ACORN and other lefty groups). Do you think that if Michael Jordan got a photo radar ticket he would sign it for the judge? What would be worth more, the photo radar fine or the signed ticket?

Olympics is about sports
Judging by the lobbying of the IOC, it's about the money, with sports being an afterthought.
Photo radar companies don't lobby either.

First when you sight something like this please realise you don't know all of the facts. you were trying to prove a point of "speed kills" well if you are as knowledgable as you think you are you should know this doesn't have all the facts. Reason i'm replying to this is because my brother was the driver, yes speed was a factor but it was becaused he stroked out while driving. If you know about strokes you lose control of one side of your body. So his foot was literally stuck on the gas pedal. So you're point of kids thrill-seeking is not true in this statement. Also next time you try to prove a point when using an article like this make sure you know you're going to piss people off who was related to that person

A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He
Figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even
though He knew that he was not speeding... Just to be sure, he went
around The block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly,
but again The camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was
quite funny, so He drove even slower as he passed the area again,
but the traffic camera Again flashed. He tried a fourth time with
the same result. He did this a fifth Time and was now laughing when
the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time At a snail's pace...
Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail For driving without
a seat belt. You can't fix stupid.
