    It's more a mentality than physical location. The type to where you move to another state, say Texas, and then go running back to Utah for less pay because you can't handle being away from your bubble.

    Don't take the bait, 71. The jerk store called and they're running out of MG.

    Yes, I have to agree. Displaced Utah Mormons contribute considerably with what is wrong with Texas.

    I don't blame you, but you replied without reading my post. I will put it another way. Even non-mormons will make sacrifices, like pay cut to live where they want. Maybe one feels the chance for business opportunities are better down the line. You don't get stuck in a 9-5 go nowhere job even though it currently pays more.

    My son took a paycut to move a while ago. Now he is making more money and still has promotion opportunities.

    You have a very narrow perspective of things. Sounds like you might be the perfect utah mormon.

    I think there are people everywhere who choose to make sacrifices to live somewhere. Heck I would imagine there are even people like that who will live in or move to California.

    According to the American Legislative Exchange Council, Utah is again ranked #1 for economic outlook. I guess utah has been number 1 since 2008. Yea, I will put up with Utah mormons to live here. Can't think of anywhere I would rather live.

    I await your definition to find out if according to you I am a Utah mormon?

    Insular Utah Mormons now living in Texas and surrounded by Southern Baptists. Some react by trying to "out Mormon" each another.

    The newsworthiness of what's wrong with Texas, or right with California, falls in the category of "dog bites man."

    There are no mountains. And I don't count those foothills in Big Bend National Park that are about twice as far away from Dallas as the Ozarks.
