Depression

Many, including JSW, have covered George Will (one of my favorite writers) on happiness on the political spectrum. He was covering a Pew research study which found conservatives to be generally happier than liberals. Here's a great post on the topic by the Harvard fed.soc. blog. It examines libertarians, and whether their jaundiced view of the world makes them more morose. As a libertarian, I'm interested by this study. Personally, I'm happy, but I suspect that has more to do with other factors than my political ideas, or perhaps the fact that I'm too immature to take my political worldview, or myself, all that seriously.
