- Sometimes it's better not to listen to your parents; both for you and them. Just ask Devonzo Dawson, who has been prosecuted for telling his daughter to recant her statement about a murder once she took the witness stand.

Ummm..congratulations? to Chicagoist, SFist, whose cities also made the list...and to LAist, Miamist and Gothamist - whose cities make up the top three. Even bigger congrats to Seattlest - as Seattle is the least clogged city in America.
