That's just completely ignorant. Out of a few million people in Utah, the number of polygamists is in about 5 digits IIRC. I live in Utah. I've never met a polygamist. I've had a coke a day before. Iced tea comes out of our vending machines, and can be ordered in a restaurant. In fact, the same goes for coffee. My family has some pretty strong LDS members, and yet they drink coffee. You can easily get alcohol in Utah, there are just some odd restrictions on where you may drink it. The only reason it looks like a theocracy is because there's a 60-70% Mormon population (ever hear the term "majority rules"?). And there are also deeply religious members of OTHER religions in Utah who contribute to our weird laws. I hate our one-party legislature, but I deal with it because it's the way things go with majority voters. This post was completely invalid, and should not have been moderated up past my threshold.
