Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

I too would like to know if my initial estimate of 0.02% is in the ballpark

Quick note - much like the difference between gender and sex, there is a difference between legal and ethical law. The government (sometimes the DoJ) controls the laws and dictates what is 'criminal'. This, as I'm sure America will continue to show us, does not always align with ethical laws, therefore an 'illegal' act isn't always morally wrong, and a 'criminal' isn't always a bad person.
