I wonder how much of the "Paranoia" comes from Daz's Utah origins.  It is statistically safe to assume that some of the early policies, personalities and principals come from a conservative religious platform that permeates that area?

 

I would say pretty much yes. That whole state is completely backwards from just about everywhere else in the country, even moreso than the bible belt, which comprises the majority of the south-eastern states. 

At least that's been my experience with just about everyone I've ever known from there, save a couple who have spent their whole lives trying to scrape together the cash to leave.
