Park City: Realy Out There?

[oussan]

Here's my take on key Wasatch Front cities:

Park City - biggest ego in the state
SLC - capital city in perpetual identity crisis
Sandy - King Burb

Utah! You gotta love it! (...or it'll drive you nuts!)

My thought here is that the drama that is the religious divide in Utah is a joke, and the intolerance displayed on both sides more closely resembles a pissing match than anything else I've ever seen anywhere else that I've lived.

(Apologies to prk166 for such a juvenile post following one so thoughtful.)

No problem, short and sweet is better than my drawn out babble. 🙂


Maybe part of the issue is getting too focused on the religious labels? My sis and bro-in-law are cops. Especially when they worked in Minneapolis they would get the "You're just pulling me over cuz I'm black" thing all too often. Not that racism doesn't happen but I wonder if hyper focus on specifc labels doesn't take away from the complexity of the issues.
