I was thinking first that its a resession and they are tryign to come out with happy. happy cocaine news, but then i read the article and was still thinking UT happy state? Well ist about recreation. Yes I agree, UT has a million things to do.
when I wa sin UT there was alot of people whether they were Mormons or not, who had mental health issues, me being one of them, my dad my mom and my bro. my uncle, and others.
I will give the same advice I have been given multiple times: Life is what you make of it!
Yeah…I saw that too and laughed my ass off. I live in SL,UT. Funny that Utah is the number one prozac prescribing state in the nation…
The Stepford Wives were all happy, too.
They have the highest percentage of Prozac users in the country. Of course they’re happy.
There could be any number of reasons, but I suspect a lot of it has to do with the wide open state of the canyonlands and recreational opportunities. Wyoming is similar and Hawaii, well, who wouldn’t be happy in paradise?
WOW!
My theory about happiness and stupidity is vindicated!
People all over the world have multiple mental health issues. Even one or two of us on Yahoo Q/A does, I would imagine. Of course,I don’t believe for one moment that the Mormons advise using cocaine.
Polls can be manipulated as this one obviously was or else it might be due to Utah being highest in the nation for two years now in pornography subscriptions and pornography searches on the internet. Even that truth is subjected to spin by saying it is curiosity. Sure it is… Two years? Highest in the nation? That would be an addiction. This was reported in the Deseret News Feb. 2009. And another authority stated they are highest in the nation for prescription drugs. This is also true (U.S. Census 2003 -2007). They are also highest for abuse.
Utah is a very sick state due to the religion prophetically being under condemnation (D&C 64:40 112, 124) for continued (belief in) polygamy, satanic blood oath masonry in temples, taking away the priesthood in seven bad years of Joseph Smith from women and African Americans, and altering the Book of Mormon. This changed the identity of God who is Jesus Christ (Mosiah 15:1-5, Alma 11:23-40, Ether 3:14). This fulfilled prophesy about the “plain and precious truths” taken out of the “Book of the Lamb” (BoM) by the “great and abominable church! Time for the “Cleansing.”
