Does the fact Utah ranks high for anti-depressant use have anything to do with it? LOL!
That may be it... But I was kinda thinking that it was because of the number of church goers... :)
My state of Kentucky ranks 49th. I wonder why? I am not unhappy.
I just read an article that stated Utah is also the nations largest consumer of online pornography....perhaps that is a contributor...although it did say the amount of porn being downloaded decreased on Sundays so there may be something to the church going theory... (sadly my beloved Idaho was near the top of this list too :(
