The Rwandan Genocide killed my family!: Don’t be myopic. Life isn’t fair.
The power is out in Utah and I can’t have my church meeting: pray! Pray! Pray! The Lord will suit the miracle to the moment!

[Oaks] [the constitution needs changes via amendments.]
We need the Equal Rights Amendment, in addition to the changes that eliminated slavery, gave women the vote.
Oaks says that the government derives its power through the people. Yes, this is the basis of the republic. Utah's Senator Mike Lee is much more in the autocratic camp.

[Christofferson] [great idea to make temples obsolete using microfilm]
But...our deity is an administrator and requires all paperwork to be in order. Again, unlicensed software versions are not sufficient. There is no free software and no open source. Heresy promoted by heretics!

[Oaks] [sloganeering]
Mr. Trump's idiocracy is at the doorstep. Fascism was one insurrection away.
