Cool story; "This obit says that more information is available on the Larkin Mortuary website but I don't see any links as of today." There's a large Larkin mortuary, near my home that I drive near almost daily. There's another one in Riverton, by my friends home. If it doesn't pop up, online, in a few days, I could stop by and inquire for you.

No Amyjo, that is the case. And no, they can't sue. Pompous Windbag summed it up nicely. Common sense laws and common decency laws don't apply in Utah.

Doesn't matter. Thanks to Orrin Hatch, the unregulated supplement industry can package 100% sawdust and call it a beneficial supplement for whatever ails you. Utah's supplement industry rivals the Medellin cartel.

"What about shady MLMs, or door-to-door sales companies with unsavory reputations? Utah is rife with various sorts of white collar crime, and it is not coming out of Ogden, and it is hardly to be considered a counter-culture to Mormonism, since, IMHO, Mormonism is basically a white-collar MLM fraud itself." Yeah, but you're not making the distinction between typical crime and Utah

You need to understand Ogden history, before you associate it with the rest of Utah. Ogden wasn't your typical Utah, pioneer settled town. Ogden exploded with the Transcontinental railroad. Union Pacific located there and brought in tens of thousands of outside workers, not LDS. Many Chinese.Probably the largest city of a Gentile population in Utah at the time. Ogden has always been a blue colla

"Why do you think the teacher would know anything about it?" Why? Because the teacher is LDS. You know, the new, Christian mormons. She should know all about Easter and Ash Wednesday-right? Even if she was ignorant, apparently, of the tradition, she should have paused after the kid explained it to her. And then, before making him wipe it off, she should've consulted her superiors. G

Summer, you make some valid points, but I can't let this go; "It might be that the mom grew up in a non-Mormon area and had no idea that the ashes would not be understood." No. Everywhere in the world, except Utah is a non-mormon area. The mom lives in Bountiful and her kid goes to a different church than all the rest of his classmates. The teacher should have acted better. If she

No, it's not. I just hope "the" church quits their stubbornness and closes down in Russia before some kids really get hurt. This would be a good time to take a hint.

But how can all Utah teachers learn from this? It's been a story in papers and TV from NY to LA. Newsweek and Yahoo. But, nary a peep from Utah's church approved official newspaper, the Deseret News. That's also embarrassing.

I'm sure the teacher will study up on Catholicism. I can't wait for when she tells him that he belongs to the Great and Abdominal church and the Whore of the Earth. That should be fun.

Can you imagine the response from LDS Inc. law department if a teacher, in another state, made a mormon kid remove his garments in class? The grandfather was right. Not only did the teacher not understand Ash Wednesday, she didn't understand the 1st Amendment. Utah.

Exactly. The only time "right" wins against the church is when things get heard outside the Utah courts system- including the Utah Supreme Court. That won't happen. The church employs the biggest, meanest, most effective law firm in the State. This won't go that far. A deal will be cut and BYU PD will maintain their creds. Mark my word.

That was the argument against the "Zion Curtain" that Utah made restaurants install to keep kids from seeing drinks being made.

Nah. They buy it local. They just pay twice as much. Utah taxes alcohol at 87%. You can buy it on the border for almost half as much. Same with tobacco. But, if you're driving to the border to save money on liquor, might as well buy cheap tobacco, lottery tickets and gasoline. We lose billions in tax revenue, annually, due to "sin" taxes.
