He's not kidding. I find myself looking wistfully at Austrailia. Give us
some down sides, or else your going to get a bunch of american moving
in, making you play football properly and weakening the beer.

Oddly, New Mexico has become fed up with all of the New
Yorkers/Californians moving out here, so the Albuquerque Dept. of
Commerce made a new "promotional" circular for prospective immigrants.
In it, it mentions:

The high incidence of skin cancer
The number of people who suffer juniper allergies
That we have more people struck by lightning than any other state
That we are the focal point of the Haunta Virus outbreak, and we are one
of two places in the world where you can still catch bubonic plague.
