Wow - just wow! You nailed it on the head! I've been trying to figure out what was off here, and you succinctly identified the key areas that make the "valley" the way it is! (I'm recently retired from the Air Force, moved here from Hawaii and ended up working in the tech field - I'm also a "member", did the whole missionary thing, and I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why the culture here seems to be so "off" compared to my military background and being around LDS outside of Utah). This place has become a huge multi-marketing campaign with everyone trying to squeeze each other for every buck they can make! Sorry, I better stop my rant! Thanks for the insight though!
