I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Oregon, Washington, Hawaii.

In any event, that graph doesn't apply to me since I don't want to be a lawyer. :hmm:

The speed limits are dreadful there and the best parts of both are out done by Vancouver.

Maybe nice to visit and/or have a vacation home...but full time living?

Speed limits = quality of life?  Maybe if you're Sammy Haggar? :unsure:

In fairness, I've never even visited any of those states.  I just assume they're better.  It may be a "grass is greener on the West Coast" thing.
