Great Danes!
The Danes are the happiest people in the world.

And why shouldn't they be? They have health care, living wages and a leader other than W. The full study is here. Mexico ranked higher than we did!
In another article on the survey, this was reported. Take a look at #2 and #4.

According to surveys, he notes, the most important sources of personal happiness are:
-- Close ties to friends and family
-- Wide political freedom
-- High income
-- A narrow gap between rich and poor

This is not good news for us.
Americans have fewer close friends than ever. We all know our political freedom is being crushed under the Neocon jackboots. High income? Not. And the gap between rich and poor continues to widen. We fail on all 4 counts. Yet Americans claim to be some of the most 'religious' people in the world.
Apparently religion and happiness don't correlate.
