Utah, we have a big problem

The porn issue is pretty unsettling, but there's something potentially even more so. What's with Utah's addiction to MLM? I just returned from a visit to one of our local purveyors of high-end exotic juices. They have some of the most posh real estate I've been in (and I've been in some pretty posh offices). Who are the fools that are still getting friends to sell acai juice for them? I squirm to pay extra for higher end root beer at the grocery store and I don't have to get anyone else to sell it. This is the (most bizarre) place.

agreed. and I have never lived any where else. we need lessons in how to live in Utah but not of Utah.

I was just saying this to a friend today - what is it with UT and all the pyramids?! Good thing the Grahams are coming to help us fix some of these CRAZY problems. :)

My theory is the protestant work ethic mixed with an economy with too few jobs for the people who want to live there.

Good point, Ty. Same reason there's a gajillion lawyers. I thought you'd be with me in forecasting the big, big idea in MLM - Mormon paraphernalia!

John you are really not helping Brian's efforts to get me to move back to Utah. But I thank you for the ammo to back up my argument. I've got to run (literally, I think I need to do 10 miles today).
