Yeah that's my Mum's theory, "Clever people are never happy". She used to add, "Look at John Lennon", that was before he died though.

In the very early 70's mum asked if Elton John did anything else apart from sing...I said yes thinking to myself he writes songs. She said 'It's a good job because he'll never make a living out of singing'. :lol:

my dad had the same theory, as a kid he would use the story of two people each of whom lived at the top of a volcano, as an example. One knew it was a volcano the other did not.

There is only one state worth living in. Intoxicated. :) |

Re: List of happiest States
They say not getting enough sunshine makes you unhappy. Does that mean that anywhere in the USA is happier than Britain?

Good schools and low crime, doesn't sound like Louisiana to me...
I've lived in Louisiana for 2 years. I only know one area so I can't speak for the whole state. Where I live there are some extremely good schools and also a couple of not so good ones - just like lots of other states. The overall crime level in the area where I live is very low, and the incidence of serious crime is extremely low. |

'they' say allot, 'they' often go back and forth on what's right and what's wrong, what's good and whats bad, 'they' can **** off. But I agree Seasonal Affective Disorder is common, I think it's more of an issue in modern times because people travel around the world, feel great on holiday, and then bummed when they get home. |
