Of particular dislike to me is Utah valley, where I lived for two years. While I wish no harm upon the state or the people, I must admit that I am entertained by trivial matters that serve to irritate them.<BR/><BR/>While I dislike UVSC/UVSU/whatever it's called, this could serve a double purpose for me. When they look up at their V, they will get to see the Y from the school that is superior to them in every possible way, and be reminded of that fact. At the same time all the BYU students will get a solid blow to their pride by having a new rival’s letter next to theirs.<BR/><BR/>I say to the county planners: rock on!Blake Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139853773740798744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-19244320049187871082007-03-22T12:47:00.000-06:002007-03-22T12:47:00.000-06:00Speaking of political mistakes, did you hear about...Speaking of political mistakes, did you hear about the whole "Y & V Mountain" fiasco?

Although I disagree with parts of your post, thanks for being a regular contributor!<BR/><BR/>I'll try to have a response out within the week.<BR/><BR/>Cameron, to try weigh in on your question: I think party loyalty has gotten us into a lot of trouble. I mean, with party loyalty you can just forget state rights.<BR/><BR/>Wasn't there a time when congress persons were supposed to represent their districts and senators their states? Now, it seems like you vote for the party and you forget about your local community and you give power to the party chairman instead of the people.<BR/><BR/>That's overly simplified, I know, but I think you get my drift. I think the party should be their to facilitate a philosophy. When the party starts getting into the nitty gritty, I think that's when we can get into some real trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-65279561645519468782007-03-14T20:02:00.000-06:002007-03-14T20:02:00.000-06:00This brings up an intersting point regarding party...This brings up an intersting point regarding party unity and loyalty.
