Ok, by my computer's account that report is 172 pages long. That's a lot of material. Did you make it through?

I also have to say a long report that has merit, if the chapter summaries are anything to rely on.

Check out the nordic countries though: 8 out of the top 10 rankings. And they're the least religious countries, too!

That's it: I'm investing in a whole bunch of woolly jumpers and moving.

If they'd interviewed me, my happiness index would have pushed the US up to at least 15. Maybe even 14!!!

But the more interesting (or perhaps scary) question is what is going on in Togo to make it the least happy place? I mean, aside from my not being there.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
