We Freepers are an optimistic happy bunch (other than a few of you who don't like Ann Coulter). ( ;-D
To long life!

On the other hand, the most extreme negative thinking is fatal.

The only optimistic thought I can come up with is that we will never have another study on optimism.

I think positive all the time. I'm positive Hillary will be our next prez, positive that the NRA will be declared a terrorist organization and its members sent off to the kind of camps where they don't have campfire singalongs, positive that the world will be wearing turbans and burqas in 20 years, positive that the Yankees will win another World Series, positive that an asteroid is going to impact North America, setting off the Yellowstone caldera and incinerating or smothering every man, woman, child, mammal, marsupial, invertebrate and Al Franken in a hideous 20-year holocaust.
But hey, I did save some money on my car insurance.
To: Billthedrill
Now THAT'S funny--especially the part about Franken roasting for 20 years.

I was afraid of turning this into another bash-Ann/defend-Ann thread.

Pathologically optimistic types come with their own set of problems. Thus, everything in moderation, optimism included.

Indeed. No one is more optinmistic than a bipolar person in the middle of mania.

How did they go about adjusting for the pessimism that comes with ill health and pain?

I am positive we're all going to die someday.
I wonder how many years that'll buy me?
To: Old Professer
I will have a look at the original article and get back to you. That is a great point, and I would imagine they did a statistical manuever to address the covariables.
