Were they displaced by more non-Mormons moving in?
It's all those heathen Californians moving in who love mountains and low crime rates and all that. They've brought in Starbucks and pagan stores and gay clubs and all that. The East Side of town, especially the east side of the central portion, is very liberal. "Fortunately", the west and south sides continue to look with deep distrust at anyone who can't trace their Utahn ancestry back to people who came across the prairie hauling handcarts.
What was the massacre committed by Mormons on a wagon train made up of non-Mormons that was passing through their territory? I remember seeing a doc on History Channel about it.
Mountain Meadows Massacre.
It ALSO happened on my birthday. As did Pinochet's junta. September 11th has had crappy stars for a looooong time.

Damn. If it weren't for your birthday, that date would have absolutely nothing going for it. And your birthday is a shiny and fabulous thing, but it's a little unfair of the universe to expect you alone to balance out everything else it's dumped on that day.
::looks all squinty-eyed at the universe, particularly 9/11's crappy stars::
My mom and I are so twisted that I jokingly thank her for waiting that extra week.
I think Mr. Olbermann may be the real-life human I've tagged most...considering my attitude about Turkey Day this year, it seemed to fit without celeb nuptials. Note to self: buy and bring cake.(cause I'm a freak that doesn't like pumpkin)
Hec was the tag I kept longest.

Also the day that Stephen Colbert lost two brothers and his dad in a plane crash. So not a good day (Trudy hippo birdies aside).
Aw, poor Colbert! I never knew that!

I just read that Rolling Stone interview last night. I want to buy him a present.
At the wake, one of his (much) older brothers gave him a copy of The Hobbit to read to take his mind off of things. That's how he became such a big Tolkien fan.
