Review of Boise City, Idaho


Cultural police
Star Rating - 9/15/2006
I may reconsider looking at Boise as a place to retire after reading the post on Morman influence there. I consider them more a cult than a religion, and they are the best example for ensuring the separation of church and state. My wife and I are empty nesters, and if the mormans take over Boise like they have numerous Utah communities, than laws and tax rates will heavily favor couples with large families. Morman's have excessive birth rates, and do ironically in a time where overpopulation of mother earth is a critical issue. If I want to order a glass of wine at dinner, or grab a six pack to bring home, the last thing I need is a LDS zealot legislating my rights.

Dan, you can relax a little - having lived in Utah, I've noticed that people who have never done so have a skewed view of how things operate in a "mormon" state/city/whatever. Sure there is mormon influence (people act on what and how they believe) but they will not take your basic rights away which includes having a cold one or sipping some fine wine. I've not seen a restaurant that didn't serve alcohol in Utah, so I'm sure that's not going to be any differnt in Boise. People seem to think all mormons play by mormon rules, but I've known plenty mormons who partied and drank just like the best of us...
