Utah is :

75% LDS (Mormon).

90% owned by the Federal Government.

Ruled by a state government that is 90% Conservative Republican.

Represented in the U.S. Congress 100% by Conservative Republicans.

Home to the Ultra-Conservative, mentally challenged, Eagle Forum, ruled by Gayle Ruzika and her dreaded stormtroopers-o-god phone-tree.

The place that would rather elect to the U.S. Congress a Male Republican potato than an articulate, intelligent Female Democrat.

#51 in state education expenditures per pupil (yes we had to borrow a U.S. territory to get on the list).

Close to highest in the students/teacher ratio and close to lowest in teacher pay.

The only U.S. state that has a birth rate that rivals many third-world countries. (double the national average)

Home to several well known polygamist communities in Southern Utah and many unknown polygamist groups in the metropolitan area.

[was] Home to :

Gary Gilmore, wanted death penalty, Right-to-Lifers fought to save him and lost.

The Hi-Fi Murderers, used pencils and drano to kill people being robbed.

Arthur Gary Bishop, abducted, molested and killed young boys.

Ted Bundy, abducted, molested and killed young women.

the Immanual David family, mother threw children out 11th story floor and then jumped to join dead husband.

Ervil LeBaron, Joel LeBaron and Rulon Allred, polygamists who killed each other off over doctrine disagreement.

John Singer, refused to follow state guidelines on homeschooling, barracaded himself and family on farm for several weeks until finally shot by officers while picking up his mail.

Adam Swapp [ still alive in jail ], married John Singer's daughter, blew up LDS church and barracaded family on same farm as John Singer because he beleived that confrontation with authorities would bring Singer back from the dead.

Why do I stay in Utah?
