The AP is practicing the social sciences again by anecdote, this time finding a few Americans who want to move to Canada and then drawing broad socialogical conclusions. Why move to Canada? Well, without quotation or contradiction or balance, AP writer David Crary asserts:
Though each has distinct motives for packing up, they agree the United States is growing too conservative and believe Canada offers a more inclusive, less selfish society.What liberal media?
Anyway, Canada is also home to a burgeoning new religious order. Jedi. Over Twenty Thousand Canadians claim the "religion" on their 2001 census forms. Let's see, Jedi are celebate warriors who adhere to a very strict moral code that emphasizes personal responsibility. Sounds like these discontent Americans who dream of liberal, unselfish Canada may have chosen poorly. Perhaps they'd prefer living under the auspices of the United Nations, an ineffective megacommittee of unelected representatives from all over the world, run by corrupt and ineffective bureaucrats who are so tied up in red tape, that, after years of discussions in a committee, they decide that removing a brutal tyrant is a bad idea. Hmm, sounds like the Jedi's enemy, the Imperial Senate.
