Editor,
This morning's (12/22/2011) Trib was quite interesting. First there was the article about the state Legislator who wants to let Utah opt out of Daylight Savings Time. And the reason for this? We don't want the, Federal Government telling us what time it should be in OUR state! Well, while your at it, why don't you pass a law that puts us in the Pacific Time Zone, too! Maybe, I could sleep later in a different dimension, or something?
Then in the local section, the ultimate, paranoid, craziness. The folks down around Kanab see a helicopter with, "Gubment" markings on it, instead of assuming it was a local law enforcement agency searching for a fugitive, or following a high speed chase as us city folks see all the time (credit where it's due. Counting sheep would have been way down on my list too, but not THIS far down) assume it's the Federal Government, "spying" on them!
Wow. These are the same folks who see, "black helicopters" in the distance, think the Federal Government is dropping drugs or chemicals on them with jet contrails, have places that require you to own a gun to live in their town, and have declared parts of Southern Utah a, "United Nations Free Zone".
Our state motto needs to be changed from, "Industry" to: Utah! The Tin Foil Hat State.
I guess this is the same, "logic" that demands free market solutions to everything, while choking the free market to death with a lack of liquor licenses, and declares themselves super patriotic while hating the Federal Government and all the regulations/protections/services it provides.
As the, "Prophet", Forest Gump said, "Stupid is, as stupid does".
