They don't have as much of the demographic that causes damage to property because of the religious and cultural backbone here that (decreasingly so) binds this state. For all the complaints people throw at the Mormons, standard of living, average level of education, and crime rate, are all fantastic compared to most other places.

As the culture becomes one to not punish those for bad actions, not shaming bad lifestyle choices, and begins to artificially force an unnatural level of multiculturalism, society rips apart.

I'm not even a conservative either. But this "social progressivism at all costs" disorder that our country has developed is going to have dire, and inevitable consequences.
