One of the Dan Quayle
quotes was, "You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be."
He said this while talking to American Samoans.
For those of you too young to remember who
Dan Quayle was he was VP during the Bush I administration.
Before Bush II and the stupid things he says, we had Dan Quayle. But maybe Quayle wasn't wrong in his views, just stupid in the way he presented them.
Today the New Economics Foundation (NEF) released a study that rated the world's happiest countries.
It turns out that Vanuatu is the happiest place on Earth. For those who don't know where this South Pacific archipelago is I will tell you. It is located between American Solomon Islands and New Caledonia. Here is a map.
Where did the USA rank? It was 150th out of 178 countries. At least we did better than Russia at 172nd. China ended up at 31st. Even Pakistan ranked better than us at 112th.
I guess there is something to the saying that money can't buy happiness.
