What else? How about the fact that in the US, a large number of cities (Chicago for one) are making it illegal to smoke cigarettes indoors?

We simply pollute more because we have so damn many more people you tool. When you live on a tiny island with only a fraction as many people, of course you'll produce less air pollution.

Well now I know where I am going to emmigrate from:
The entire freaking EARTH. Because I know damned well that the day EEK and I agree on politics, that day is judgement day. I'll be waiting for you guys on the Moon passing the time watching some movies.
[EDIT]: PS Bring beer and pretzels
Or to Scotland. I can't ignore the highlands of my ancestors. Plus, it's beautiful as well.
The only country that can safely say it will have no part in the inevitable destruction of mankind. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hmm... well I'm in USA... probably go to UK or Australia since I have friends there. New Zealand is cool too. Really I love the US, only dislike the policies of the leaders.
My advice about California (since I spent part of my childhood there):
Awesome place to live <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b>IF </b></span>you have money. If you don't, then welcome to the law suit capital of the world.
If we are talking about extraterrestial and parallel universes are not out of the question, then screw you all.
I'm going to Xzianthia. Later suckas! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
