Not enough acid in juices to make a reaction. In fact, many lye based soaps are made scented by adding lemon, orange, lime,pineapple, etc. juices. Unless they had it chemically analyzed, it would be hard to say Drano. Plus, no one would take more than a sip before they spit it out. I'm doubting her story.

Where do you get your "facts"? Shurtleff wasn't removed from office. He wasn't in office. Swallow resigned. Swallow wasn't tried by a jury. BYU Judge Dee Benson (Utah good ole boy) dismissed the case. This isn't AM radio. You can't just make up stuff to fit your narrative.

In theory, that's how it's supposed to work. However, here, many Federal positions are filled with mormons. Including FBI posts. We watched how 2 Utah Attorney Generals were indicted and subpoenaed to turn over documents and property, both state and personal.

Exactly. People that have never lived in Utah can't comprehend how the law works, compared to the rest of the US. You have most lawmakers, prosecutors, Sheriffs,Police Chiefs, cops, investigators, Judges, AG's etc. etc. that swore an oath to the church, in a temple ritual, that they place above any and all other oaths they may have taken to the country, state, city, spouse, etc. The Utah bubble i

No, I think it's when they hold the majority in population, politics, business, etc., they are not inclusive. The saying here, if you criticize them, the church or the state, is "Why don't you just move!". It's probably the most beautiful and diverse state in the country, but the dominant religion makes it unattractive.

Utah schools are run by Utahn's. "The" church runs most Utah officials. "Some things that are true, are not useful" seems to permeate most things in Utah society. Mormonism is a cult. The cult runs Utah. Truth is not a useful tool.

"In most places, Mormons are a religious minority and are treated as a part of the religious landscape. People don't think about them a whole lot." In EVERY place, outside of Utah, they are a religious minority. Plus, in other places they are much more polite and not pushy.
