One of the few things I remember from my sociology 101 class this
semester: Nevada has the highest suicide rate of the fifty US states.
The professor said that general sociological opinion links this to that
state's rapid population growth -- many people pull up roots and move
there, don't develop connections to people to replace the old ones they
had, and thus are at the greatest risk for committing suicide.  I don't
think suicide rates are related to temperature or amount of daylight.
