I love living in Utah...

that being said, there are quite a few changes I would like.

I love the Church and have a testimony of it...that being said, I have a hard time with some of its teachings and practices....just like many of us do.

I like my fantasy football league and for the life of me can't understand why any league would operate without a flex spot.

If I only sought out places to live, churches, and fantasy football leagues that I 100% agree with, I would be a very lonely and very bored individual. I can't imagine living a life that "vanilla."

You're an American, right? Do you just love Obama and Obamacare?

It's more that the good outweighs the bad by quite a bit.

It was a study in relativism.

maybe it's because the majority are descendants of people that did just that
