According to the head of immigration, Canada is not giving any special preferences to any Americans leaving the country. Sorry.

Alright, a lot of people have given me heat for this comment, so I want to explain.

I knew John Kerry would win Massachusetts without my vote. It's illogical to think that my single vote mattered in the state of Massachusetts. However, my vote did matter in the whole country. Once reason John Kerry conceded as early as he did was because he did not win the popular vote. People like me probably caused John Kerry to not win the popular vote.

Therefore, I do actually feel bad for not voting. Because of how close this election was every vote did matter. John Kerry's concession is proof that every vote does count and you shouldn't not vote just because you know that your electoral votes will go for your candidate.

Heck, I even had the day off to vote. Each year, at UAW-staffed manufacturing plants, a certain # of holidays are negotiated. This year, they chose to have one of those days as "election day". In Kokomo, there are about 9-10,000 UAW jobs. Oddly enough, the county went almost 2:1 in favor of Bush. Our local union populus must be old and conservative.

Many of the UAW people I know, especially the ones around my age, tend to be those who feel the need for their own private arsenal of AK47's and hand guns. These people overwhelmingly vote for Bush, regardless of other issues.
