Not like Noam Chomsky has a political agenda or anything...

I wonder if you "godless Europeans" realize the extent to which extremist Islam is taking the reins of your lands -- denying free speech (Mohammed cartoon), imposing mob rule for weeks (France), imams demanding religious law trump common law (England)... Over-religious? America isn't anything compared to what extremist Islam has imposed in the Middle East, and what they wish to impose in Europe.

But hey, it's your elephant, your room, and at the end of the day America will still have a more religious populace, and more free practice of the same.

(as for Utah -- I've lived there, and I can tell you it's one of the best-run states in the USA, with some of the best people you can find)

EDIT: Just for some spice, a bit of lyric from Martina McBride's new single, "Anyway," which she performed tonight at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (which I was at, and which is the world's largest):

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
