I was being snarky, but to be honest, I'm both jealous and dumbfounded that this, of all topics, is deemed nec. for the gov't. to debate.  In my country, and I suspect most parts of the world, there are so many matters of life and death piled up a million miles tall on the desks of The People In Charge, to debate happiness would feel like fiddling while Rome burns.  It's either a precious luxury or just mad - I can't decide.  

Also, I'm not sure where I come down on government intervention in existential matters like happiness.  That's the America (libertarian) in me: I want the gov't. to respect my right to be utterly depressive.

Your photos: you look like you are having fun with your new gizmo.  I'm not very interested in the technique of photography or in taking pictures.  But some photography appeals to me.  In fact, when I go to the museum, it is always the first room I visit.  And I recently stumbled upon Velibor Bozovic, whose work I like very much.  

I like the blue picture.  I love things that are blue.
