We Mormons are such funny people. We like to use "peculiar" but sometimes we're just plain funny. There exists an incredible herd mentality among us. We like to think of it as "one heart and one mind" but in most instances, in our state of imperfection, it's nothing more than herd mentality. Take the excitement over a new restaurant in town called Chadder's. It's basically In-n-Out Burger with a different name. That's right, it's a burger joint. Now, I really like In-n-Out Burger and will probably go to Chadder's -- someday. Apparently every other Utahn feels like they just have to go to Chadder's RIGHT NOW and are willing to wait in a 20-car line at the drive-thru just to have a burger. It's a compulsion and I can't blame them. It takes everything I have not to get in my car, drive 40 minutes and wait another 60 minutes-- at least-- to get that juicy burger. Moo.
It's for the above reason I'm somewhat frustrated to be living in Utah during the upcoming Presidential election. I would love nothing more than to wear Romney t-shirts and go door-to-door campaigning for this guy. He has my vote and it's NOT just because he is Mormon! I have a brain and have been doing my research and I believe, out of the candidates so far, he is the one for the job. He has the experience, the drive and the qualities I want in a President. Being in Utah and saying I'm voting for Romney is like saying, "See you at Chadder's!" I get a knowing nod of the head and I swear I hear mooing in the background. Oh well, in Romney's case I'm willing to be one of the herd.

Good observation and I have used that concept many times, although I call it the "line mentality". FYI--I have been to Chadders AND Romney is my man! Moo
It's the Krispy Kreme phenomenon all over again. I call it the "heard mentality" -- Hey, did you hear about the great, new (fill in the blank)!However, I hope the cows MOOve in mass in support of Romney. Great blog, Alisha.
You have never been one to follow the crowd, you always fight tooth and nail! That is one thing I love about you. As a follower of the crowd far too often, I appreciate your ability to inspire me to be a leader and free thinker. Thanks for your inspiration!
Out here in "Podunk" Eagle Mtn. I luckily have not heard of the phenomenon Chadders. Maybe some day I will try it!
Hey Lish! I recently found Krissie's blog and today I realized your link was on there! =]
So, in response to this blog, may I just tell you that we have MITT bumper sitickers on our cars? And the funny thing is, I told Pete if we drive over to Utah I'm taking mine off! I so completely understand what you mean about the herd. That is one thing I don't miss about the great state of Utah. (Although I do miss plenty!) I do kind of feel lost in the crowd...there are few ways there to differentiate (sp?) from everyone else.
Okay, I've rambled! I wish I was as articulate as you...I love reading your stuff. Love you - Melly
