19:23.12 | unum | the tribune wrote a follow up article to the blog post I shared a couple of weeks ago |
19:23.45 | unum | mont other legislators denying carl's claims |
19:23.53 | unum | s/mont/most |
19:24.21 | unum | they note that carl has left the church, but I think he's actualy a paid pastor in his new found faith |
19:26.08 | resplin | Interesting. Thanks. |
19:27.08 | resplin | In KUER's RadioWest legislative review, they mentioned the Church's lobbying efforts. All the panelists, including the ones generally critical of the LDS influence on Utah politics, seemed to feel like it was normal and reasonable amounts of lobbying. |
19:32.20 | resplin | Though I guess that doesn't offer much insight to the debates around the bill in 2011 |

20:54.39 | Wegg | I hear that "the world has lost it's way and getting worse" statement all the time. |
20:54.45 | Wegg | nice to see someone refuting that. |
20:55.03 | unum | ya |
20:55.37 | unum | I always liked to point out that President Hinckley would end his talks talking about how there are more priestholders on earth than ever before |
20:57.16 | Wegg | Someone needs to get up onto the pulpit and tell people to stop watching network cable news. |
21:03.00 | unum | ya |
21:03.21 | unum | I really like the bullet points at the end of the article |
21:23.39 | Wegg | We had an elders quorum activity on Saturday to clean up the neighborhood. I kept inviting strangers to help us. We had a whole family at one point pulling weeds with us. Was fun. |
21:27.50 | unum | nice |

23:44.22 | romanovic | The world isn't getting worse per se, but I think it's true that the world's tolerance for evil is increasing to our own detriment |
23:46.34 | romanovic | and yes, the network news is a big offender. they give an increasing amount of attention to massacres and homicides, despite the fact that homicide rates have dropped drastically for decades |
