Yes good for us. Except when it comes to educating those kids. Until we get serious about education in Utah, we won't reach our full potential as a state.

We have to attract and keep quality teachers. $30,000 a year isn't going to do that. $50,000 a year might.

It's interesting that Utah's attitude towards children predisposes them to multi level marketing and ponzi schemes. What happens when the multitude of today's kids becomes tomorrow's seniors? At some point we have to deal with the planet's excess number of humans. Maybe now, is a good time to start.

"Tomorrows are built on the backs of hard-working, tax-paying, optimistic citizens."

Some perspective. The DNews believes there kids' role in life is to grow up and slave away for the government.
