On a more positive note, some of you might enjoy having a look at this: http://www.wnd.com/2014/07/5-happiest-cities-in-u-s-all-in-1-state/ Apparently the study was done by some group from an Ivy League grad school, so it might even be based on valid results. Personally I take note that states are not corrupt, just individuals in those states. It has always been my observation that criminals prefer to take the path of least resistance in their persuit of crime. Failure of the citizens to resist and punish criminal acts foster an environment which offer least resistance..

Illinois 5. Pennsylvania 6. Alabama 7. Alaska 8. South Dakota 9. Kentucky 10. Florida The last paragraph says, Of course, it’s not all bad news, as the study also found the least corrupt states too. Citizens of these states -- Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Vermont, Utah, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Kansas -- can take solace in the fact that they’re not getting ripped off as badly as the rest of us.
