That's what i go to school for....

"I strongly suspect that there is a strong correlation between peace and happiness," said Ronald Inglehart, a political scientist at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, who directed the study.

Mmmm... insightful.
I promise you not all political scientists say things like that. Anyway, he was just talking in relation to the World Values Survey that ranks the happiest countries in the world.
Overall, the world is getting happier, according to the U.S. government-funded World Values Survey, done regularly by a global network of social scientists.

In other news,

The number of children living in poverty has risen for a second year, a UK government report says.
By the way, the survey ranked Denmark as the happiest country in the world.
Whoopdee-friggin'-doo.


If you're in a mood like mine, perhaps you could use some cheering up, like from here.
*Be warned, clicking will lead to a possibly eye-searing picture. Its funny though*


Have a happy day.
