"This gave me occasion to observe, that when Men are employ'd they are best contented. For on the Days they work'd they were good-natur'd and chearful; and with the consciousness of having done a good Days work they spent the Evenings jollily; but on the idle Days they were mutinous and quarrelsome, finding fault with their Pork, the Bread, and in continual ill-humour."

--Benjamin Franklin (Autobiography, 1771); Reference: Franklin: Writings, Lemay, ed., Library of America (1447)

Could it be this is the reason why Conservatives are generally happier people than are the people on the Left? Think about it for a moment. Who are the people best able to protest at the drop of a hat? The Left. Why is that? The do not have the responsibilities that their counterparts have, for example...a job!
