I will frame and keep forever the six pages of the June 18 Opinion section of The Salt Lake Tribune as the most concentrated compendium of enlightenment, knowledge and truth ever assembled in one place: The editorial on the "not crystal clear" water report, Candace Lightner on Utah's new anti-drunk driving law, George Pyle on civility, Sara Jarman on pot, Leonard Pitts on terrorism, Gene Fitzgerald's letter of the week, Kristian Anderson on art, Regina Pistilli on climate change, Yolanda Badback on White Mesa, Keith Watts on Utah's land grab and, not the least, Josh Wennergren on noise.
If only we could make the reading and understanding of all these matters by all of our Utah citizens, we would advance the serenity and social peace among all of us by thousands of years.
Thanks to The Tribune for the valiant effort to educate us.
