Should drugs be under Steps? I would say that they're more of an external thing...it's not a natural solution to happiness. If we're trying to promote happiness increase, we shouldn't be trying to promote the use of drugs or medications to make people happy...."Steps to Happiness" should probably be more natural ways to get happy. Just my opinion though. ~K.K.

Meredith Bush (4/27) Hey guys! I found a picture of a bunch of smiles and thought it was really cool, but I already have a picture for my page so if anyone wants it it's under happiness in the files.
