Good luck making any sense out of these lists. One person's worst is the next person's best.

If you actually took the time to read all the way down to here, congratulations, reading this ranks number 3 on the biggest wastes of your time today.

No wait - make that the second most valuable thing you learned today. Sorry - I was reading from the wrong poll.

Arizona should be dropped from the best list, especially if you need a transplant. The government has run the state into the ground leaving it the second poorest state with a whopping deficit.
