My surmise is that this is an example of the familiar tendancy to take a correct principle (self-sufficiency) too far (judging those who rely on the aid of the collective). Like paying 15% tithing.

I'm sure someone will tell me I'm being too judgmental about the judgmental people.

So when people used bankruptcy to discharge credit card debt, the banks ran to Congress to relieve the problem the banks had created. Now they're free to exonerate almost with impunity.

I believe the high number of bankruptcies in Utah has everything to do with the gargantuan homes carving up the mountain side and the brand new SUVs all over the roads. It has little to do with family size or tithing. Also, my impression is that there is a prevalent "keeping up with the Joneses" attitude in Utah. Sure, this is everywhere, but when your next door neighbors are also your ward members it becomes magnified. |

Second, you have the be the oldest. I know you probably grew up comfortably and whatnot. But the one thing your upbringing deprived you of was enough asswhoopins. Gettin one's ass kicked frequently brings them great benefit and helps society to be short one more pretentious asshole. Someday, you and I should hook up. I would kick your old ass out of principle. Lets do it in the next 10 years or so, past that I feel I would be too old. I'll bring the Elders or Bronco Mendenhall as well, just for a little spiritual guidance for the both of us.
