If there ever was a people who will be remembered as fiddling (chilling out) as Rome (America) burned, it is Utahns.
As America swirls down the political, economic, and social toilet, Utahns occupy themselves with their sports and shopping addictions, their fall festivals and downtown eateries, and their church activities.
Utahns dote on the nightly weather forecast, reports of buildings going up here and there, upcoming winter fashion statements, and new electronic entertainment devices.
Utahns plan their fishing and hunting trips and gossip about professional sports franchise changes.
Utahns have virtually no concept of what they need to be working on to help save America, unless it is to figure out how to better ferry skiers up the canyons.
Utah has no complacency, no racism problem, no rogue police culture, no shortage of employees to aid struggling businesses, no investment in Western fire and water problems, no anxious or depressed people, no dawning Dark Age to lighten up a bit.
Utah is all prosperity, enlightenment, glitter and glam. Life is elevated for the greatest people ever to live on planet earth. All is well in Zion.
