Reasons to agree : If you have a sump pump, it will fail. When it fails, is probably during a rain storm, when you need it to work. Crawl spaces in Illinois fill with water, if you don't have a sump pump, for some reason.  Images that agree : (stolen from  Megan's Website ) Our sump pump runs quote often, when it rains, leaving a pond which we tell the kids not to play in.

Reasons to agree : 4 The Chicago Field Museum has Sue, the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus skeleton currently known. A visit to a museum is not as educational as reading a book, but it is educational enough.  Not as educational as reading a book In order for something to be very educational something has to go into depth. Reading plaques in front of stuffed animals is not very in depth.  ... it is educational enough At a museum you get to brows a bunch of topic. I guess the goal is that you find something that is interesting, and then you can go somewhere else and learn more later. With no guided tour you can do whatever you want. You get out of it, like most life, what you put in. Perhaps instead of rushing from thing to thing, find a few things you are interested in and then really experience that thing. Perhaps bring a sketch pad and draw stuff. The Chicago Field Museum is a short walk from Northerly Island, which offers park...

Reasons to agree : + 3 Animals are cool . The shed aquarium has lots of animals. They have dolphins, a beluga whale. They let kids dress up as penguins.  They have a spot with strong animals, that they let the kids play with. If you want to have the Chicago Experience, the Shedd is in Chicago, and has a nice view.  Reasons to disagree : -1 The Shed Aquarium is cool and stuff, but they have dolphins at the Brookfield Zoo, and they have other types of animals too, but the parking is included with the cost of the Brookfield Zoo. And the Shedd Aquarium cost about $175, while the Brookfield Zoo is $92. The Brookfield Zoo has Manta ray Bay that lets you touch animals similar to the thing at the Shedd. You have to pay to do it, but still it is less money than the Shed.  Score: # of reasons to agree: +4 # of reasons to disagree: -1 # of reasons to agree with reasons to agree: +0 # of reasons to agree with reasons to di...

Reasons to agree : +4 The last fling has petting zoos, pony rides, presentations.  A parade (never watched). Parking is good. Naperville has good free public parking, which is good.  Reasons to agree :  -2 The rides are overpriced.  The food is unhealthy.

Reasons to agree : +6 If you are lucky you can find parallel parking for free around Lincoln Park Zoo. Parking is $1.00 an hour, if you can find any, near Northerly Island. I drove there with 2 bikes in  my car, and my 7 year old son, and we rode to Millennium Park and back.  Kids ride the Metra free on the weekends.  The Water Tower Place Mall does parking validation.  It costs $7 per adult to ride to Chicago Union Station (week-end passes, kids ride free). From there you can walk to a number of places: Millennium Park.  In the summer, kids can play in the fountain. Bring towels, and a change of clothes. It is sort of white trash, but they can change in the bathrooms.  Each time you go down the kids will probably want to look at the bean, and get their photo taken. I should probably walk the whole park once. Their are some statues on the south end I have never seen.  Winter Kris Kringle Market Chicago  We walked, with...

Reasons to agree : +8 The Illinois Train Museum in Union IL is a good place to take your kids . Denver doesn't have anything like that+3 The Chicago Art Institute is a better Art Museum than the Denver Art Museum . +3 The Chicago Shed Aquarium is better than any sort of ocean life exhibit in the Denver area. +3 The Chicago Field Museum is better than the Denver Field Museum. +0 Chicago has a good Science and Industry museum. Denver doesn't have anything like this. They have a natural science museum that compares to Chicago's Field Museum.  Chicago has a pretty cool planetarium. Denver doesn't have anything like that.  Chicago has way more square footage of museums than Denver. Depth and variety are good ways of measuring museums qualities. This is much easier to achieve with more square footage.  Chicago has a rich history with jazz music, with places that you can still go to. Denver doesn't have anything like that.  More important history and im...

Supporting Evidence Logical Arguments: Strength deters aggression: Strong entities, be it individuals, organizations, or nations, often deter potential aggressors by showcasing their capacity to retaliate or protect themselves. On a global scale, this is evident in the concept of deterrence theory in international relations. Weakness invites exploitation: Entities perceived as weak can become targets for more aggressive entities that seek to exploit their vulnerabilities. This can manifest in various ways, from cyberattacks on vulnerable systems to geopolitical moves against weaker states. Supporting Evidence (Data, Studies): Studies in geopolitics and international relations support the idea that strong nations tend to face fewer overt threats than weaker ones. For instance, research by Jervis (1978) on the "Deterrence Theory of War" underlines this. Supporting Books: "The Logic of Violence in International Relations" by Robert Jervis Supporting Videos: A range of ...
