UT: D.I. = dirty indigents?


Seeing as how Draper is home to "The Point" - the Utah State Prison - and all, it's a little rich that the town is putting on airs about a new Deseret Industries store attracting the wrong element:

Every place has potential; bad neighborhoods only exist because some elitist moron(s) decided to draw an arbitrary line in the sand. Wherever they are, standing proud and turgid in new jeans purchased with old money, that’s the right side of the tracks—it must be kept free of dirty indigents in their D.I. dungarees. Otherwise, they might find themselves a few inches into the wrong side of the tracks, juxtaposed with hardworking white trash whose presence and perseverance will bring out their ruddy complacency and snobbery.

And yet, that’s exactly what Draper has brought upon itself.

(So far Deseret Industries' parent company, the LDS Church, has not commented on the controversy because they simply must be stunned to silence.)


You know, some of my finest go-to-court neckties come from D.I...
