I think that it proves that traditional family values works. That and Mormons take care of their own. They don't need the government.

And some of the worst air pollution in the US.

SLC and Utah are reasonably nice places but it is not clear they are in fact successful. In a number of major economic parameters they trail both Nevada and AZ.

You can get a "full" beer there. Granted, you will pay more but it is available.

I have friends that moved there and when they went to a restaurant and wanted a beer they couldn't believe that there was a separate line item for full beer. I think the wife said, who orders less than a full beer? Of course she had no idea what it was until they explained it.

Having done a lot of business in Utah, I'm confident the good people of Utah feel likewise about Liberal ilk.
