3. I never click on Yahoo links, Yahoo takes too long to load on my slow connection

One of the reasons I like DU is that it's low bandwidth, it loads more quickly on my connection than most sites and far more quickly than Yahoo which can freeze my connection for a lot longer than I want to deal with.

It's allowable to excerpt up to four paragraphs and put them in your post, it looks like it could be an interesting list that I will be shocked if my state is on.

Oh, and welcome to DU..

5. Vermont #1 safest and the least number of gun laws

What a polite society.

6. I don't think it's the gun laws that make it safe

There's only 600,000 people who live in the whole state .
It is a beautiful state as long as you can put up with long cold winters, the mud season and a lot of flying bugs during the summer months.

8. These are also the least diverse states in the US

Almost exactly the same group with Vermont and Maine topping both lists.
