Recent research from Baylor University has revealed that Americans are happier in states where governments spend more on public goods, such as libraries, parks, highways, natural resources, and police protection.

For years, researchers from Baylor and other Texas universities have been working together on geology digs about 50 miles south of Waco, near Salado. They’ve been digging deeper and deeper, one millimeter at a time. Recently, they found about 100,000 stone artifacts, including 12 projectile points like the one pictured above.
