Advantage of living in cold states (or Canada)

Hello. This is just one of those random posts. I won't get real pissy in this one. I'm just doing this for fun. These are the advantages of living in the cold states.

• Winter most of the year
• Typically progressive states (2008 Election Results, 2004 Election Results, 2000 Election Results, 1992 Election Results - forgive me for being unable to find a good map for the 1996 election; you may take my word for it or research it yourself when I say that it was very similar to the 1992 election)
• Cheaper housing
• Lower teen pregnancy rate
• Canada has much lower crime
• Free health care in Canada
• Canada's lower population (CIA World Factbook - US, CIA World Factbook - Canada)

I will leave you with an amusing picture.
