Opinion, Salt Lake Tribune

As I was scouring through the letters to the editor the other day, I found this wonderfully sarcastic entry that I'd like to share:

Thanks, Mormons

I congratulate Mormons on their Proposition 8 victory. I am impressed with their willingness to donate time and money to a cause in a state where less than 2 percent are of their faith.

With all the competing issues and causes, such as poverty, the environment and finding a cure for cancer, I'm grateful they chose to give so much hard-earned money to banning the rights of gas and lesbians. The Catholic and other conservative Christians couldn't have done it without them.

As a Utah native, it is comforting to know that there are Mormons at home always looking out for my family's best interests. I hope Latter-day Saints will continue to assist in righting California's moral compass by helping us eliminate other impure activites and behavoirs. Perhaps they could send some nice kids form Brigham Young University to mow down the vineyards, board up the Del Mar racetrack, and turn off the power at the Indian casinos.

I cannot thank them enough for making sure Califonia's families are safe and straight.
