Gallup says we're Happy.
Happiness. As in, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of." The nation's founders considered happiness to be one of the ultimate objectives of life, so when Gallup asks Americans how happy they are it's no trivial matter.
Using the happiness standard, one would have to say the country is thriving. A Gallup Poll conducted Dec. 11-14 found a slight majority of Americans saying they are "very happy" and almost everyone saying they are at least "fairly happy." Only 4% admit to being unhappy.
They're right. I wasn't even that unhappy that the Yankees lost the World Series. I was so happy we beat Boston. But I'm still upset on bad beats when the pot odds didn't warrant a call.
