Good Morning OCU!

Interesting list of happiness.

It seems as if you have a marked advantage if you live in an English speaking world.

Must be Shakespeare, Lennon and McCartney.

Love is everywhere.

The top 10 are:

1. Norway
2. Denmark
3. Sweden
4. Australia
5. New Zealand
6. Canada
7. Finland
8. The Netherlands
9. Switzerland
10. Ireland

And what does all of these countries have in common (taken from the item below):

They are all borderline socialist states, with generous welfare benefits and lots of redistribution of wealth. Yet they don't let that socialism cross the line into autocracy. Civil liberties are abundant (consider decriminalized drugs and prostitution in the Netherlands). There are few restrictions on the flow of capital or of labor.
