Politics mixed with religion in Utah

The transcripts of meetings that took place 11 years ago at the governors mansion reveal a somewhat shocking tidbit. The state government was counse to se the Book of Mormon as a tool to judge the success of a civilization. This is silly and is an example on why Romney will lose tomorrow..

During one session, Leavitt and others talked about King Benjamin, who in the Book of Mormon encourages people to serve one another. Leavitt said the king's era would be a ``prime one to look at'' when studying the success of civilizations.

When did "Early Morning Seminary" become a formal meeting? A couple of gov't officials got together to discuss their favorite eras of political prosperity in a book and discuss possibilities of emulating them......

Very, very sinister. This is a slippery slope. The next thing you know they'll want a plaque of the Ten Commandments in the State Capitol............

Mercury, I recommend you run to Canada or California as fast as you can.

So when they go out to eat after work and discuss it it's a formal meeting. I went out to eat with a guy who works for the Romney campaign and we discussed it in depth. Same with a City Council member. Forrmal business?

Your main problem in discussion is that you believe Feigned naïveté is a positive and constructive tactic.

You don't think I'm really naïve? Mercury, that might be the first nice thing you've ever said to me.
