"A new study ranks each state, plus D.C., by their psychopathic tendencies. The race for first? It isn’t even close."

I reiterate my call for all 50 states to simultaneously secede from Washington D.C.

"When Murphy matched up the 'constellation of disinhibition, boldness and meanness' that marks psychopathy with a previously existing map of the states’ predominant personality traits, he found that dense, coastal areas scored highest by far—with Washington dominant among them."

The runner up is Connecticut. Doesn't surprise me actually.

"Psychopaths are attracted to the kinds of jobs Washington offers—jobs that reward raw ambition, a relentless single-mindedness and, let’s admit it, the willingness to step over a few bodies along the way."

I'd add to this that living in a dense urban environment is deeply unhealthy for most humans. Absence of closeness to nature on a daily basis is a reality for many and, in my opinion, a travesty.
