The well-being of Americans hasn't improved in the past six years, and it even declined slightly in 2013, according to a recent Gallup study. But while national figures remained flat overall, the ranks of the states with the highest well-being scores changed considerably. Hawaii, 2012's top state, fell to number eight in 2013, and the new top-ranked state didn't crack the Top 10 a year ago.
5 most miserable states:
No. 5: Ohio
No. 4: Alabama
No. 3. Mississippi
No. 2: Kentucky
No. 1: West Virginia

But they insist on coming out into the closer-to-sane world and telling everybody how wonderful it is in the place they don't live anymore and how we should all shit in our own beds like they have in theirs.
