And frankly, if they are somehow "right" that this was all "tit-for-tat" -- it just seems to confirm that Brigham Young was in on the planning, after all. Because no grassroots Mormon would take on murdering people in the triple-figures due to "revenge" unless it involved leaders from Illinois who wanted "revenge." And Brigham Young was such a Mormon leader in Illinois!

I think this is why the leaders in SLC aren't very interested in finding out what really happened in the MMM. They're probably afraid of where this might lead. While a totally-discredited Brigham Young wouldn't destroy all of Mormonism, it would be devastating to the Utah faction.

Its three most prominent campuses (BYU-Provo; BYU-Idaho; BYU-Hawaii) -- are ALL named after Young.

And imagine if you've got your degree with "Young" as your "spiritual ed-tattoo"???

Imagine if the full truth came out 'bout Brigham Young how many people would suddenly try to scrub their resumes' ... BYU would be the national notorious "taint" that some of us already know it to be...
