What do you think of the September Six? Do you think that there's any chance that Mormonism will recognize its radical origins, or do you see it moving closer and closer to mainstream Protestantism?
Good question. I don't think it was answered, so I'll re-ask it.
Two is more political and relates to the first question: why doesn't Utah have a single dry county?
I can answer this. Utah has very strict laws on alcohol, including being a control state (meaning the state has a monopoly on the wholesaling of alcohol) and that preempts all local laws, basically only the state laws can be valid, no city or county can pass different laws on alcohol. But while this standardizes Utah's strict laws throughout the whole state, it also effectively prohibits any municipality from establishing stricter laws. Thus dry counties are not allowed in Utah. Oklahoma also has no dry counties for basically the same reason.
