NY Times best-selling author, Stephen Mansfield, who is not a Latter-day Saint, observed:
Plant The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in any country on earth and pretty much the same results will occur. It will produce deeply moral individuals who serve a religious vision centered upon achievement in this life.
They will aggressively pursue the most advanced education possible, understand their lives in terms of overcoming obstacles, and eagerly serve the surrounding society.
The family will be of supernatural importance to them, as will planning and investing for future generations.
They will be devoted to community, store and save as a hedge against future hardship, and they will esteem work as a religious calling.
They will submit to civil government and hope to take positions within it. They will have advantages in this.
Their beliefs and their lives in all-encompassing community will condition them to thrive in administrative systems and hierarchies—a critical key to success in the modern world. Ever oriented to a corporate life and destiny, they will prize belonging and unity over individuality and conflict every time.

Great news today! after a long journey and lots of work, the state of Utah agreed to legalize hybrid Bermudagrass in all of Utah! This picture shows it (top) after six weeks of no irrigation compared to bluegrass (bottom).
“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” https://t.co/2Ahi7zBKxU
If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.
This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.
