<<BTW, I never find happiness in crowds.>> You forgot the rooster in the hen house. He crows about it all day long.

UW, it's odd that crowds are both an attraction and an unnerving weirdness from which to escape. People crowd into cities around the world. Not many prefer the rural scene. I don't think it's just economics either as the money is often better [disposable income after essential costs such as accommodation] in small towns. They lack the thrum and diversity of the big smoke, not to mention international aiports, rail centres, hospitals, fibre internet and so on, but those are modern accoutrements. BTW, those statistics have been scientifically investigated over a lengthy period. They were not meaningless unproven statistics. Another statistic I have studied extensively is cat happiness per capita. It is higher than that of tigers, and the total number of domestic cats is vastly higher. So, compared with sheep and cats, not to mention dogs, cows and goats and even budgies, tigers have a very small share of happiness. They are lonely pitiful creatures pretending they are top of the evolutionary food chain, but they are harrassed by mosquitoes and fleas and bordering on extinct. If you would like to donate to or invest in my happiness research project, email me loads of US$ [other currencies also acceptable]. I will give you a free copy of the results. Mqurice
