Penguinnisto, As per my pledge to c1rcle (and responsibility to myself) I must agree with your strenuous defense of yourself and your neighbors. While Utah may have a reputation for a certain brand of racism, like many reputations often, it may be unwarranted. I am from Texas after all...our rep on race certainly isn't sterling. But it is my home and I love it. To attack DAZ for being in Utah, or even to attack Utah in a general condemnation w/o a specific case is patently unfair and a species of the illness I wish to cure. I may not be the biggest fan of Mormon history, but do know some good Mormons and non-Mormons in Utah. As a teacher of rhetoric, I see that Mosca is committing what rhetoricians call the "Pro pars toto" fallacy--unnecessarily attacking the whole for a problem in part of the mechanism. Please stop it, Mosca. I might agree w/ your intent, but not your methods.
