Below are links to where your state ranks at being the 'best' or 'worst' at....

example: Colorado-highest cocaine usage...but they also have the lowest obesity rate

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Massachusetts:

    Best: College Grads
    Worst: Drivers

    I'm ok with that. At least we're not Rhode Island (drug users) and Maine (dumbest state).

    Come on. I was hoping for some good stuff about my state of New York.
    Best- Transit use
    Worst- commute
    You think one has to do with the other?

    My wife's state- New Jersey - lowest suicide rate. When things are that bad you probably owe somebody something and you just get wacked before you have the chance to kill yourself.

    Maryland- Highest income. Yeah, where all the politicians and lobbiest live. Go figure.

    Worst at porn usage, wouldn't that mean they don't use as much? Unless, maybe you Utes just use it in really bad ways?



    Illinois....yay for being most average, yet keeping it exciting with lots of robbery.

    i think it's a riot that the state with the highest cocaine usage has the lowest obesity rate

    Who knew? In potato country we seriously manufacture a ton of computers. That's right, every Idahoan I know builds computers in their spare time.

    Our negative is actually a positive as it seems we wield the least amount of political influence. That's great because our political climate is old, white, and crusty; they shouldn't be influencing anything.

    I took it as being that it's used and contributed to the highest, but I could be wrong. It's pretty hard to come across pornography in a retail setting in Utah.

    But I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to hear of a large statistic of closet/private porn gazers who will do anythign to hide the fact that they look at some smut.
