I like Kentucky.  :)
:cool:

I am curious if all the people around here who enjoy shitting on Kentucky have ever been here. :)

Of course not. Why would I go to Kentucky when there are still plenty of places that are generally held to be likeable that I haven't been to?

Bhutan is more a state of mind, than a place.  :cool:

Beleaguered? Not Teachers, a Poll on 'Well-Being' Finds

"A new analysis of polling data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index that examines "well-being" as measured by a number of indicators, including physical and emotional health, job satisfaction and feelings of community and safety, found that teachers ranked second only to physicians.

In addition, teachers ranked above all other professions in answers to questions about whether they "smiled or laughed yesterday," as well as whether they experienced happiness and enjoyment the day before the survey."

That selection of states seems to be based on income more than anything else.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs provides a correlation there.

You and your damned hierarchy.  Why must everything be a competition with you?

Yi's point still stands.  None of that stuff necessarily correlates to happiness.
The UK office of statistics are trying to measure happiness, or 'measure of subjective well-being'.

I'm not convinced of the need but it is an idea to try and measure a subjective feeling in the census.
