about Denmark but I do have a cousin who spends a great deal of time traveling around that part of the world. He is highly educated and married a woman from Sweden. He would agree, they are happy and it is because of how their government works. If I were not so tied down here and old I think I would head that way. I have encouraged my sons to think about it, it would kill us because we would never be able to get over there. Still, this place is going down to the ground very soon if things do not get an entire makeover. *sigh*

We do not have the life crushing sadness and tragedy on any kind of scale as what goes on in other parts of the world but it will not take too much to push us that way. We are still lucky but on the happiness scale I do not think we are likely very high.
