Just a technical correction. The legendary Parchman Farm is in Mississippi, where it has been a haven of progressive prison policy for many, many decades.

Louisiana is home to the equally prestigious Angola Prison.

Anyone who takes Ayn Rand’s writing seriously after they’ve left college is emotionally stunted.

This is true. I think most of the liberals left Kurt Vonnegut and Herman Hesse behind about thirty five years ago.

Actually Ben Elton wrote a book called “Stark” which was a bit more realistic look at Randians In Space, IMO. Very black comedy.

Not to mention intellectually.

Me neither, because I live here.

If there were some sort of relocation program for Utah liberals, or if you made the Randians stay out of Salt Lake City, maybe.

Give ‘em America’s Wang, if you must give them something. Swamps, heat, humidity, stupidity, the highest concentration of telemarketing companies, religious broadcasters, I could go on and on.

Re your really good idea to just give them Utah:

The Christianistas, led by Gov. Barbie or Huckabee, would immediately be at war with the Mormons, led by the Mittster of course. (They really don’t like each other.) This wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, as long as they keep the hostilities inside the wall/shit-moat. It would keep em happy, cause you know how these folks love war.

Somebody needs to tell Robert Redford to get the hell out of Sundance before this plan is implemented.
