Tho' I'm familiar with the overall culture thru immersion via early pioneer family history, my thoughts on the cosmic aspects are that "there is insufficient solid data to make a definite determination at this time" , and, "I do not have that degree of faith in the unknown unproven".

The reason I started the thread here was due to my own interest in the social/historical aspects of this docu-drama out of curiousity for how it's generally perceived by those unfamiliar with the background issues.

Sounds like the folks I'd hang with.

The two main fundy sects are the FLDS, formerly of Short Creek (Warren Jeffs, remember them?) and the AUB of Bluffdale Utah and Pinesdale, Montana.

One of the things I shared with Maryanne Watson for her research was how the United States Navy unwittingly funded the resurgence of the Mormon fundementalist movement thru a contract with one of the sub-converts for his patented high sensitivity telephone headsets for wireless signal applications.
Web search "Nathaniel Baldwin, Utah Inventor and Patron of the Fundamentalist Movement by Merrill Singer" for the best account of that story.

Really good people, not to mention accomplished skiers, hunters and fly fishermen. I spent lots of time there on the slopes and on the South Fork of the Snake.

We're cool, Steve.

Not lying about the drone, either. The State of Kansas couldn't afford a drone that won't fit in the back of a pick-up truck.

It's not a Predator, just has an impressive ball gimbal camera. 10' square to the axis's of the four motors.

I'm fascinated by the history of the Mormon church. Carry on.

(edit..the Indian is impressive, excellent photo. You could be the lone biker of the apocalypse... like Raising Arizona).
