The US Army was sent into Utah in the 1850s and found the streets of SLC
vacant. They decided to bivouac several miles west of SLC where there is
now an Army base. It wasn't until almost 40 years later that polygamy was
made illegal.

These idiots are only worried about the separation WRT keeping anyone
religious out of government.

Not in this echo.

Ceppa would rather talk about "magic underwear" and Sauer would
rather talk about "KITTEH!".
