I found this pretty funny. I'm American and this map looks fine to me. ;)

--- Quote ---If we Canadians acted like Americans... Then why does Canada have:
- Free Health Care
- No Gun Issues
- No Abortion issues
- Allow Gay Marriages
- No Free Speech issues (except for Quebec)
--- End quote ---
Free Health Care? non existant, you are paying for it. Just not at the time services are rendered.
Gun issues? We have the right to bare arms (meant to protect) With all rights come responsibilties
No abortion issues. Because we are the land of the free and laws for the people by the people blah blah, we have different laws governing. California - abortions are legal. Other places no. This is a problem because of mixes beleief issues again because we are a collection of more diverse people.
Gay Marriages - you can have them. No offense intended to any gays reading this, but again it is a matter of beliefs and the letter of the law. The law states that a marriage is between a man and a woman (multiple women in utah). It is an issue here because of perception. The gay activists believe they are being repressed. It's not repression, its law. If enough people want it, have the law changed to a marriage being between two individuals not related by blood.
No free speach issues - people are free to say what they think / feel here, but most believe that their actions come without reactions.
Disclaimer: This reply is not intended to offend any gays or canadians or gay canadians, or the residents of the state of Utah.
I guess all I am trying to say is that we all look at the world and our own countries a little bit differently. I'm lucky to live iin the worlds 5th largest economy (California) and I know my beliefs on the situation are far different than that of my family in Michigan and Mississippi.
To quote Rodney King "Caann''t We all juust get allong?" (spelling reflects the way the man speaks) <-- not intended to offend anyone with a drawl in the way they speak.
Done with disclaimers and my point of view
Just my .02

All those disclaimers and you still managed to offend northern and midwestern residents. You just banned marriages between 2nd/3rd cousins :-\ . Now they are gonna have to go one town over to meet someone (or they could try online dating).
