Chicago was recently listed as having the worst traffic congestion in the country, and I don't think any other state can match our record of three consecutive governors being convicted of felonies for offenses performed while in office. So evidently we're good at being bad while stuck in traffic.

The Good: Highest income sounds great but they don't factor in the higher cost of living here.Yes we make more, but we also have to spend more to live. Housing, food, fuel, taxes, etc. They giveth and they taketh away.

The Bad: Glad I'm faithfully married and don't have to worry too much about this.

Here in Colorado I'm not into the drugs personally, but I did ride my bike to work today. (Western Colorado is not getting the deep freeze today that Denver is.)

I used to live in Wyoming. Yes the air is wonderful. I thought the drivers there were better than in the crazies in Colorado. Maybe there were just less of them.

I grew up in Massachusetts. Yes, Masshole drivers. I went to college in Colorado though.

Nobodies speaking up for beastiality and lowest infant mortality. Hopefully because they are busy with their kids and not the livestock.

Having spent two hours in a Chicago parking lot (labeled I90) at two AM listening to the cars toot "Shave and a haircut", I can attest to this.

Here in WA we have the low mortality rate because we seem to bend over backwards and encourage people without jobs, morals or responsibilty to keep breeding. How else do you keep the voters keeping your party in office happy other than keep lining the palms of everyone with their hands out?
As far as the sheep go, well, we do have a lot of velcro gloves and rubber boots around here. :lol:

There's a lot of unintentional but possibly connected items in there.

Utah has the highest porn usage, but has the highest reported wellbeing. Washington has the lowest infant mortality, but that's 'cause they're doin' animals. Colorado does bunches of coke, and that keeps the weight down! South Dakotans don't take mental health days, but they certainly need to. Religion is fatal in Mississippi and Alabama. Wisconsin's high school graduates are partying a little too hard. Kentuckians are armed, but not against cancer. Ohio is the nerdiest and most well read, and in Ohio, one of those is apparently a bad thing. All the damn sunshine in Arizona is causing the residents to party with Wisconsinites. California, South Carolina, and Illinois are dreadfully bland.

Fun!

You left out that Lousiana has the biggest port and the most gonorrhea. Somehow I thnik those just tmight be related.

That seems to be specific to Enumclaw. If you're not squeamish, google something like enumclaw+beastiality or something like that. Unfortunately it took a certain incident to make them (in)famous and get the state to pass a law.

Actually, that would be horses. And a tragic tale of death from a perforated colon. It wasn't the horse that died. I will leave the rest for you to fill in the blanks.

Vermont, worst at INfertility and best in health. There is another correlation. But really Vermont roads suck. Lowest % of roads paved (I consider that good), but the paved roads are in disrepair. Maybe we should be the only place with a dirt interstate.

OK, I thought at first, before actually opening this thread, that you wanted OUR INPUT for our state...oops. Guess the report that Ft. Wayne was, a couple years ago, listed in the top ten 'dumbest cities' in the US was justified. Heck, just watch the drivers, you'll believe it!

Least green, I'll believe it; too many people think 'green' is wimpy here. Ditto for considerate, having ANY sensitivity toward your SO, being able to spell.....etc.

Most VP's from IN...hmmmm... Presidential impeachment insurance, a' la Dan Quayle? After all,........................
