This Just In...Brooding Prince of Denmark Now Happy

I’ve always been a proponent of a European vacation (sans hostels, s’il vous plait). Now it turns out you can’t just visit. You have to LIVE in Europe to be happy

An European Commission Poll showed that 87 percent of European Union Citizens considered themselves happy, with the highest percentage (97) being Danish. 

So, what’s the secret to happiness across the waters?  Contrary to what you might think, it’s not all those cool pastries Danes get to have for breakfast. The poll says confidence in one’s pension helps make life a little easier.


I also submit that a common thread is universal health care.  More than half of all U.S. bankruptcies are caused by illness or medical debt. No wonder we’re so grumpy…and unhealthy…over here.
