happy planet

yeah another drive by aging hippies to make people believe they should live in grass huts and eat cow dung...
the new study claiming to show "level of happiness" in the many nations of our globe weighs standard of living against environmental impact. Therefore countries, like the U.S. who's standard of living is not only better then nearly anywhere else on earth, but better then ever before in history, actually rates very low because of environmental impacts.
Sorry I'd rather live in America than Vanuatu. They're happier because their industry is underdeveloped?
somehow I think the results fail to capture the subjectivity of the topic inherant in their claims.
I think most Americans agree, happiness is a big house, a big mac and a big gut getting sucked out by a big plastic surgeon in the big state of texas.
ok maybe not but it sounded good.
mmm big mac.

oh and if Mexico rates higher then the U.S. why are all the Mexicans trying to get in here?
I don't see any Americans running for the border.
