Utah culture fosters a strong, paranoid imminent doom philosophy; it is usually just below the surface. It is often most aptly demonstrated by the people and outfits that make a buck off of it. I remember before Y2K the tubs of freeze dried potatoes and generators going off the shelves; it'll happen again before 2012. Sure, we need to prepare. But for winter storms or earthquakes, not religious apocalypse. This just keeps us afraid, and fear keeps us compliant.
