Happy States

T'is the season to be merry, right? So I run across a list of the "happiest" states 1 Louisiana 2 Hawaii 3 Florida 4 Tennessee 5 Arizona 6 Mississippi 7 Montana 8 South Carolina 9 Alabama 10 Maine 11 Alaska 12 North Carolina 13 Wyoming 14 Idaho 15 South Dakota 16 Texas 17 Arkansas 18 Vermont 19 Georgia 20 Oklahoma 21 Colorado 22 Delaware 23 Utah 24 New Mexico 25 North Dakota 26 Minnesota 27 New Hampshire 28 Virginia 29 Wisconsin 30 Oregon 31 Iowa 32 Kansas 33 Nebraska 34 West Virginia 35 Kentucky 36 Washington 37 District of Columbia 38 Missouri 39 Nevada 40 Maryland 41 Pennsylvania 42 Rhode Island 43 Massachusetts 44 Ohio 45 Illinois 46 California 47 Indiana 48 Michigan 49 New Jersey 50 Connecticut 51 New York Hawaii is number 2? I object! Ain't that where they filmed that movie ... what was it called? Okay, what about Canada? A 2007 world survey found that Canadians stood 10th in "happiness". The Dutch were numero uno and the U.S. was 23rd. Canadians in New Brunswick were "happiest". Newfoundland and P.E.I came in 2nd and 3rd ... and they ain't got the best of economies. Alberta is Canada's "richest" province: It came in 8th.
