WHat are you talking about? This is one of the more ridiculous sweeping generalizations you have come up with so far, and you have more than a few. Like you I am from Utah. Like you I have lived overseas both on a mission as well as while growing up. Like you I have lived almost my entiore adult life outside of Utah. I also only occasionally return there but I can't fathom what you're talking about here. Oppressive, run down and hopeless? Please. I assume you forgot your smiley face or else you are just tryign to get a rise out of someone like me.

He was an intelligent guy who most of the time made sense from his perspective. Every once in a while though he would go off into the wilderness spouting some mumbly jumbly bull crap. You remind me of him. |

1. Crappy pay
2. Larger than average family size, requiring larger homes and other related increased costs 3. Tithing I think Utahns are living on a thinner income margin than most Americans. That puts them in a position where adverse financial events can put them into bankruptcy faster than the average Joe. That doesn't absolve the 'keeping up with the Joneses' group, which exist in every subpopulation, but I think there are a non-trivial number of people that are at risk given the 3 items above. |
